Support for Caregivers
We support the invaluable dedication of women who care for a sick, aging or disabled loved one.
Taking care of yourself so you can better support others
Because this demanding role can lead to burnout, we offer you a space to take a breather, connect with others, and find helpful resources.
What is a caregiver?
A caregiver is someone who provides regular, unpaid support to a family member or friend who is losing their independence. Whether you’re helping a parent, a child with special needs, or a spouse, you’re taking on a vital daily responsibility.
Our monthly support group
Don’t shoulder your responsibilities alone. Once a month, join our support group for caregivers to:
Share your story
A safe space where you can express your emotions without fear of judgment.
Understanding your role
Gain a better understanding of your rights, your responsibilities, and the nature of your loved one’s condition.
Breaking the Isolation
Connect with other women who are facing similar challenges.
Managing stress & burnout
Identify and discuss your feelings and symptoms to help you adopt new best practices.
« Being a caregiver is a daily act of love, but it’s also a marathon that can be exhausting. At Pluri-elles, I’ve learned that taking care of myself isn’t selfish—on the contrary, it’s what allows me to stay present and calm for my loved one. The support group has become my lifeline. »
