This guide (36 pages) was created to support First Nations caregivers throughout their caregiving journey and equip them to make decisions. It provides information on various caregiving aspects, organized into five main sections:

  • Natural caregiver — who, me?
  • What can I do to adjust to this new role?
  • How to recognize abuse?
  • What about drugs, medication and alcohol?
  • What resources are available?

This document comes from a reliable source and addresses a lesser-known side of caregiving that is relatively undocumented. However, it is more than 10 years old and, while it cites most of its sources, is based mainly on grey literature.
