It’s time to seriously revamp medical school approaches and curriculum - a department of palliative medicine should definitely be a requirement at our medical schools! #MedEd #cdnhealth

The State of Caring report in the UK was the inspiration for @TheChangeFdn’s Spotlight on Ontario Caregivers, released for the first time in November 2018. Good luck with the 2019 survey @carersuk @HolzhausenEmily
Today we're launching the State of Caring 2019 Survey! It's the most comprehensive research into the lives of #carers in the UK and helps us to push #caring up the agenda for policy makers. Please fill it in if you're a carer and share with your networks surveymonkey.co.uk/r/Stateof…

#Caring is a journey.
Sometimes the role changes quickly but it can also slowly develop into something very different from the initial undertaking.
If your caring journey is changing, read our booklet below.

Hey @SmartWatRegion: We love that your focus is on child and youth well-being!
Our region, much like the rest of Canada, has not given enough attention to children and youth who take on substantial and unpaid caregiving roles - they are often referred to as young carers (1/8)
