We are so excited to introduce a new free program for young caregivers in HRM!

We've partnered with the Young Caregivers Association to launch the Young Caregivers Pilot, starting Oct. 16, 2024, at St. Andrew's Community Centre.

✏️ Who are young caregivers?
Young caregivers are children and youth who provide care for a family member with a chronic illness, disability, mental health condition or addiction. They face unique challenges balancing school, social life and caregiving duties, so we want to help them.

✏️ About the program
This initiative is a part of Powerhouse - a renowned program developed by Young Caregivers Association in 2003. In two decades it empowered and supported thousands of kids in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. This is the first time the program is launched in Nova Scotia.

✏️ What to expect?
This six-week program will support children aged 8-12 in exploring their caregiver identity, building up self-esteem, navigating emotions, developing coping skills and connecting with their peers.

✏️ Registration
You can register now by emailing Kim Henry at [email protected]
Spaces are limited, so early registration is encouraged.

Stay tuned to learn more about information sessions!

Let’s make housing affordable for all ages! Finding a safe and affordable place to live shouldn’t be a struggle. The Alliance for a Liveable Ontario has launched the “Five Ways Home” campaign, outlining essential actions governments can take to solve the housing crisis.

Key ideas for more housing options:

️1️⃣ Build in the right places
2️⃣ Build a variety of housing
3️⃣ Build smarter and faster
4️⃣ Invest in non-market housing
5️⃣ Make housing affordable

Recommendations to benefit older adults:

📃 Develop a Comprehensive Seniors Housing Program: Identify and plan for the future housing needs of our aging population.

🏘️ Support Smaller, Accessible Homes: Many older adults wish to downsize and move into more accessible or supportive housing within their communities.

🏙️ Promote Multi-Residential Buildings: Encourage the construction of low-rise and mid-rise buildings that offer a variety of unit sizes and types.
