Caregivers Alberta

Caregivers Alberta Caregivers Alberta is a nonprofit organization that focuses on the well-being of family & friend caregivers by providing supports and programs.

Many caregivers face serious issues that affect their physical, mental emotional, social and financial well-being. It is as vital to care for the caregiver as it is to care for the recipient. We are here to help you take care of you , not make you a "better" caregiver.

Caregiving happens every day.

Every day across Alberta, over one million caregivers are making decisions, adapting to changing needs, and caring for the people they love.

Their need for connection, information, and guidance continues throughout their caregiving experience — through the difficult days, the unexpected moments, and the times when they simply need to know they are not alone.

That is why monthly giving matters.

The Caring Crew is a community of monthly donors who believe caregivers deserve ongoing support — whenever they need it most.

Together, Caring Crew members help Caregivers Alberta be there for caregivers across the province — providing trusted information, connection, navigation, and guidance when they need it most.

A monthly donation is more than a gift.

It is a commitment that says:

“Someone will be there.”

Someone to listen. Someone to connect them with resources. Someone to remind them that they do not have to navigate caregiving alone.

Join the Caring Crew and help ensure caregivers across Alberta know they are not alone — today, tomorrow, and throughout their caregiving journey.

Championing good, one monthly donation at a time.

155 Referrals. Countless Possibilities.

This past spring, Caregivers Alberta received 155 referrals through Caregiver Connect, our caregiver referral program.

Those referrals led to:

• 241 conversations with caregivers.
• 179 referrals to additional community resources and supports.
• 217 different community resources shared with caregivers.

No caregiver should have to navigate caregiving alone. Every conversation is an opportunity to reduce stress, provide clarity, and connect someone with the right support at the right time.

Behind every number is a caregiver with a unique story, facing unique challenges. Whether someone needs emotional support, practical guidance, or help connecting to local services, our team is here to listen and help them take the next step with confidence. Together, we're making it easier for caregivers across Alberta to access the information, referrals, resources, and encouragement they need to continue caring for those they love.

Addiction affects more than the individual—it touches everyone around them. Through every challenge, countless people step forward to care for family, friends, loved ones, and community members battling addiction, offering unwavering support, strength, and hope when it's needed most.

This International Overdose Awareness Day on August 31, we honour the caregivers who stand alongside those fighting through the challenges of addiction. We also remember those whose lives have been lost to overdose and recognize the profound impact of these losses on families, friends, and communities.

Caregiving in the face of addiction is often unseen, but its impact is immeasurable. By reducing stigma, fostering understanding, and supporting one another, we can help ensure that no one has to face this journey alone.

💜 Today, we remember. We commemorate. We continue to care.

No one plans to become a caregiver.

It starts with love. Before you know it, you're making complex decisions, juggling new responsibilities, and putting someone else's needs ahead of your own.

Many caregivers spend so much time focused on the person they love that they don't realize help is available for them too.

By the time they reach out, they are often exhausted, isolated, and carrying more than anyone should have to while trying to keep everything together.

That's why Caregivers Alberta is here.

Together with donors and partners, we help caregivers find trusted information, education, connection, and guidance before challenges become crises.

Your generosity helps ensure caregivers across Alberta have a trusted place to turn when they need it most.

Because every caregiver deserves to know they don't have to do this alone.

their caregiving journeys.

Because caregivers matter.

Across Alberta, 1 in 4 people provide care for a family member or friend who needs help.

They are spouses navigating changing health needs together.
Parents advocating for their children.
Siblings, relatives, and friends stepping in when someone they love needs them.

Their care touches every community, every generation, and every stage of life.

But caregiving does not happen in isolation.

Caregivers take on extraordinary responsibilities — making complex decisions, adapting to changing roles, and carrying the emotional weight of caring for someone they love.

They should not have to navigate this journey alone.

When caregivers have access to connection, information, and guidance, the impact reaches far beyond the individual:

💪 Families are stronger.

🤝 Communities are more connected.

💛 Caregivers feel less alone.

This is why Caregivers Alberta exists. Together with donors and partners, we help ensure family caregivers have a trusted place to turn — providing education, connection, navigation, and support when they need it most.

Your support can help make sure caregivers have the tools, resources, and connection they need to keep going.

Learn how you can help ensure caregivers across Alberta are never alone in their journey.

Because when we strengthen caregivers, we strengthen everyone who depends on them.
