Description
Mentoring is a method of passing on lived experiences to support another caregiver in an empowering and meaningful way. Anyone who has been a caregiver will know that the caregiving role presents many challenges. These challenges will be different for every caregiver and from time to time support will be needed.
An OCO trained peer mentor will:
- 'Just be there'/Listen
- Provide encouragement, support and acceptance
- Acknowledge a caregiver’s strengths
- Share lived experience and give real life examples
- Discuss a caregiver’s wellbeing
- Celebrate any goals the caregiver achieves
- Be someone for a caregiver to bounce ideas off of
The Ontario Caregiver Organization invites caregivers with diverse backgrounds from across Ontario to join our 1:1 Peer Support Program as a Peer Mentor. We are actively recruiting bilingual or multilingual caregivers who are fluent in English and other languages, and caregivers with experience caring for a spouse or child.
