Caring for the Caregivers

Caring for the Caregivers Peer Support Program

The Caring for the Caregivers Peer Support Program was developed to help long-term care facilities establish peer support programs. Research has shown that peer support programs can be effective tools to help facilities and their staff address mental health concerns. They can provide long-term care staff with the opportunity to receive emotional and tangible support during times of personal and professional distress. The goals of this resource are to provide a guide for facilities to establish and maintain a peer support program and to enable long-term care staff to support one another.
