Today is International Day Of Persons w/ Disabilities. I see it as a day as an opportunity to break down barriers to accessibility, and demystify and counter ableism - but it’s also important to keep connecting with this work all year round. #IDPWD.

In Ontario, there will be an estimated 2.5 million *more* caregivers by 2030 - we’re looking at 6.5 million. So many people are looking for support in various systems throughout our country - we need to do better for caregivers in Canada. #ActOnCare.
Caregivers are the backbone of our health system but they’re unpaid, unsupported, and unseen. It's time for Canada to step up for caregivers. Join us in calling for the new government to #ActOnCare: @MediaPlanetCA #CdnCaregiving.

As a kid, whenever I would come across another sibling caregiver, I used to think it was like meeting a unicorn, because it was so rare that I could find someone who understood my experience. 🦄 . I consider myself lucky, because there are many unicorns in this week’s episode ✨.
🎙️In ep. 3 of Who Cares, we’re diving into the world of sibling caregiving through the stories of those who live it every day, and those who created the resources they desperately needed but couldn’t find for others navigating the same path. #CdnCaregiving

Incredible article by @LouiseKinross interviewing another awesome sibling, @terrencewkho. Nodding my head as I read along - what a relatable and meaningful article for sibling caregivers ❤️.
