The Friends & Family Caregiver Support Program, offered by the Prince George Council of Seniors, provides crucial assistance to unpaid caregivers—friends or family members who care for individuals facing illness, disability, or age-related challenges. These caregivers play an essential role in our community yet are often overlooked. By offering support, we can help prevent caregiver burnout and health issues while easing the strain on the healthcare system.
