Early-career working caregivers face many unique challenges yet have so much to offer. Supporting them is not just the right thing - it's a smart move for organizations. Katie MacDonald shares her story here.

As a #WorkingCaregiver, I have leveraged the skills gained while caregiving to shape my career and help employers reach their business goals. Read more on my most recent Linkedin post. https://t.co/hKM7GlmmRv

Balancing work, raising school-aged children, & supporting aging parents is really hard, but through this experience I have gained confidence & valuable skills. What skills have you learned as a working caregiver, and how do you apply them to excel in your job? #WorkLifeBalance

@PharmaLauren Working with @IMPaCTrials definitely feels like a win-win partnership for me!

[Michelle Wan (she/her) @mwan88]

As high healthcare systems user, I've often been asked to share my story, but sometimes doing so did more harm to me than good. I need to remind myself that healthcare engagement should always be part of a win-win partnership.

[Michelle Wan (she/her) @mwan88]

Thank you to @BowkettChelsea @PharmaLauren @Maureenchats and @NancyJButcher for organizing an amazing event filled with so much community building and learning. Benji and I had a blast! @IMPaCTrials #PCHRM

Thank you @terrencewkho for being with us today. Your work brings us closer to implementing real change.

[Ontario Caregiver Organization (OCO) @CaregiverON]

We're hearing from caregivers at OCO's Caregivers as Partners in Care Roundtable: Terrence Ho, caregiver since age 10, shares his story of caring for his brother, mother & family friend. #Caregivers are at the heart of all our work. @terrencewkho

[Ontario Caregiver Organization (OCO) @CaregiverON]

Honoured Minister Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health, is here with us at our Caregivers as Partners in Care Rounbtable to recognize and thank #caregivers #morethanavisitor @ONThealth

[Dr. Dawn Richards, PhD @TO_dpr]

Regular reminder that systems and org's put a ton of responsibility on #Patients to advocate for themselves in places where they don't hold the power. I really wish that energy could be used to collaborate/move forward together instead.

[Sabrina Poirier (On Hiatus) 🇨🇦 @Sabrina_Poirier]

@CIHR_IRSC Wow. The difference between how the researchers see this post…and the individuals with lived experience is quite telling of a larger problem with privilege, power dynamics and humility.

This isn’t funny. It’s embarrassing for CIHR and anyone in the thread having a laugh.

[Michelle Wan (she/her) @mwan88]

It was amazing to participate in the conversation with @jenjohannesen. Her words are so articulate and impactful! Thank you @CdnCaregiving for making this possible!

[Jennifer Johannesen @jenjohannesen]

I spoke at the Canadian Caregiving Summit Nov 23, re "Caregiving and Work". Thru a bioethics lens I contemplate the cost of extreme caregiving, reflecting on lack of choice, financial dependency, and challenges to building a career. Transcript in link! https://t.co/eCe20CSQgD

Wheelchair users have been trying for ages to raise awareness about their wheelchairs being broken so often when they fly, and the devastating impact this has on them.

@AmericanAir baggage handlers decided to give a demonstration of how much they enjoy breaking them 😡

Please re-tweet if possible: my 13 year-old son's lego robotics team is exploring the arts & accessibility as part of an innovation project. They have created a short research survey & would love as many people as possible to fill it out! https://t.co/Chn54JQES3
