An ambitious project: making knowledge available to all<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The mission of the Observatory is to provide reliable and objective information to caregivers and the many stakeholders who support them. By making a vast range of knowledge and resources readily available, in one place and at no cost, the Observatory raises awareness, stimulates action, informs decision-making and fuels research, all of it with a view to improving caregivers\u2019 quality of life. <\/p>\n

Focused on the multiple dimensions of caregiving<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Caregiving can be gratifying, but it can also have repercussions for the caregiver. The Observatory supports caregiving stakeholders and their efforts to foster awareness and recognition of the contribution of caregivers, and to assist them in their role, regardless of their age, gender, living environment, the type of disability of the care receiver or the nature of their involvement with them. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

A unique hub of knowledge production and transfer<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The Observatory is the first of its kind: a knowledge hub focused entirely on caregiving in its many different aspects. Beyond its own output and activities, the Observatory promotes concerted action with all caregiving stakeholders \u2014 caregivers, researchers, practitioners and decision-makers \u2014 to bring their contributions and perspectives to the fore. Grounded in this multidisciplinary approach, the Observatory is a source of reliable and relevant information on caregiving, both from Quebec and elsewhere. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
