The Support for caregivers fact sheets are designed to inform decision makers, caregivers, and those working with them, about the support resources available to caregivers. They are the result of a collaboration between the Quebec Observatory on Caregiving and the Centre for Research and Expertise in Social Gerontology (CREGÉS), which are part of the Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux du Centre-Ouest-de-l’Île-de-Montréal (CIUSSS COMTL). The contents of the fact sheets are based on the results of literature reviews conducted by CREGÉS as part of a provincial mandate granted by the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS) to CIUSSS COMTL.

For more information, we invite you to consult the full report available on the CREGÉS website.
