Welcome!

Welcome to the Caregiver Club at Circle of Care! Alongside the fulfillment that caring for a loved one can bring, comes the demands of the caregiver role.

These many commitments can be overwhelming and lead to emotional, mental, and physical exhaustion impacting your daily life and well-being. The Caregiver Club is here to remind you that you are not alone, and you matter, and you can feel better.

Our program was developed out of a need to better serve caregivers in Toronto, who dedicate their lives to caring for others and remain invaluable to the fabric of our communities, though all too often receive little support for themselves.

We recognize the difficulty of finding the right supports for you and your loved one in a sea of options. Our goal is to help you decrease your stress and improve your well-being by connecting you with the resources that best fit your unique situation.

The Caregiver Club is here to recognize all of your hard work, support you through any challenges along your caregiving journey, and help you regain a sense of hope for the future.

Our program offers the following benefits to club members

Caregiver Navigation Support

The Caregiver Navigator will provide social work support to program caregivers by connecting you to local community resources tailored to your needs, and offering regular check-in Care Calls to provide ongoing assistance.

The program offers educational sessions on topics specific to caregiving. Additional online curriculum is provided through access to our e-newsletter and website.
