Barriers to Care for Caregivers from Marginalized Communities in Canada
Understanding Caregiving Challenges in Canada
In a recent study by the Petro-Canada CareMakers Foundationtm, it has been reported that caregivers from marginalized communities encounter substantial barriers to care. This impacts not only their personal lives but also the quality of care provided to those they support.
Barriers Identified
- Access to Resources: Many caregivers reported limited access to essential resources and support systems.
- Financial Strain: The economic burden of caregiving disproportionately affects marginalized groups.
- Social Isolation: Feelings of isolation were prevalent among caregivers due to community lack of engagement.
Impact on Caregiving Experience
The findings necessitate a closer look at how systemic inequalities affect not only caregivers but also the individuals receiving care, leading to an urgent need for policy changes and community support.
