“The greatest fear is the fear of the unknown, and that’s what we’ve consistently seen throughout the rollout of this,” said Weeks, calling the AISH reforms “one of the largest restructurings of disability income support in decades.”

Presence and co-regulating is a thing with everyone we are with. It’s not just something we reflect on as staff providing care, or as family caregivers. All of us, neurodivergent or not, experience our nervous systems getting dysregulated when around people who might be struggling themselves. There’s no need to judge ourselves if we feel overwhelmed. It’s an opportunity to bring love to ourselves and rest in fostering calm presence inside, letting the body soften, the breath deepen.

Try that right now.

The more we practice tuning in with ourselves with mindfulness practices, the more we can notice how we feel, and observe our calm behaviour with others.

Check in with your gut about how you feel when with different people.

Does your body feel tight, butterflies in the belly? Tightness in the chest?

Just observe and love yourself.

Those providing care for others- do this every day! ❤️

What a great resource for siblings.

💙 Caregivers Alberta is happy to spread the word about a program designed just for young sibling carers 💙

BC Children’s Hospital, in partnership with communities across BC, Alberta, and the Yukon, is offering free, monthly online peer groups for sibling carers ages 8–11 who support and care for a brother or sister with a disability or chronic health condition.

These supportive, child-friendly sessions create space for sibling carers to connect with peers, share experiences, and feel understood—all from the comfort of home.

🗓 When: 3rd full week of each month
🕟 Time: 4:30–6:00 PM (local time)

📍 Choose the day that works best for your community:
• Monday: Whitehorse, YT (YDT)
• Tuesday: Victoria, BC (PDT)
• Wednesday: Vancouver, BC (PDT)
• Thursday: Calgary, AB (MDT)
• Friday: Prince George, BC (PDT)

✨ Families may join their local group or select the day that works best for them.
📩 If none of these days fit your schedule, please contact the organizers to be added to another community partner waitlist.

Please help us share this opportunity so young sibling carers know they are supported 💙
