AdvocacyCaregivers 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.
Most recently, we have organized a meeting between caregivers in the Cowichan Valley and the Minister of State for Intermediate, Longterm and Home Care, Katherine Whittred, for Jan. 31, 2003. This has been arranged with the assistance of local MLA, Brian Kerr, and his office staff. After our meeting with him, Mr. Kerr initiated the scheduled visit by the minister.
