Advocacy

Caregivers often need a friend who can advocate on their behalf


Many caregivers are too tired to question a "no" from a service agency or the government. We support caregivers by making phone calls or speaking to professionals on their behalf.

In addition to this personal advocacy, we help caregivers raise societal awareness of their issues to make government and services more responsive to their needs.
