Are you hitting a breaking point? 68% of caregivers in Ontario report feeling the same way.

So, if you’re struggling to keep up with the demands of caregiving, please know that you are not alone 🫂

46% of caregivers report feeling lonely, isolated, and depressed.

The people behind these numbers—they're why we do what we do.

We consistently hear our work is making a difference, and the demand for our programs and services is growing.

The newly released data in our 2025 Spotlight Report paints a clear picture of the challenges caregivers are facing in Ontario and shows us how important it is that we continue to provide the support caregivers need and work with partners in healthcare to expand caregiver inclusion.

🧔💙 It’s MOVEMBER! 💙🧔

Movember is all about raising awareness for men’s health — including mental health, su***de prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. This month, the Rapids crew has been growing out our “moustaches” to help start important conversations and show our support for the men in our lives.

A moustache can be a conversation starter… and awareness can save a life. 💬

Let’s keep bringing attention to men’s health, today and every day.
