Meeting the needs of our aging population

By 2040, the population over 80 will more than double, which has implications for caregivers.

"Coming of Age" is an award-winning podcast by the Ontario Long Term Care Association that's changing the conversation on aging and care.

🤔What's the Issue?

Canada has an increasingly aging population, so the need for unpaid caregiving responsibilities amongst employees is rising. This leads to financial, workplace, economic and health impacts.

[Carer-Friendly Workplaces @cfwpmcmaster]

🤔Who are Carer-Employees?

Carer-Friendly Workplaces: A Conversation

The CAREWELL Conversations Podcast raises awareness about the issues and challenges facing family carers who combine work and care.

May is National Caregivers Awareness Month!

Caregiving often shows up in the small things—remembering details, showing patience on
hard days, and staying present when things feel uncertain.

[Carer-Friendly Workplaces @cfwpmcmaster]

National Caregiver Awareness Month is a chance to acknowledge this ongoing support that so many people provide without expectation of recognition. Caregiving can be deeply meaningful, but also emotionally heavy, especially when support feels limited.
