If you’re a caregiver under 30, you aren’t just a young caregiver—you’re a superhero, navigating the growing complexities of adulthood while offering support to a loved one experiencing cognitive decline. You’re also human, experiencing the full range of emotions that go hand in hand with this type of diagnosis, along with the stress that comes with taking on a supportive role. Most importantly, you’re not alone. One in four Canadians will find themselves in a caregiving role at some point in their life (you’re just getting a head start). Thanks to the generosity of the Diamond Family, we’re here to connect caregivers like yourself with resources, support, and information to make this unpredictable journey as smooth as it can be.
