Les aidants et aidantes sont présents chaque jour — souvent sans reconnaissance, sans repos et sans soutien. Pourtant, le rôle d'aidant peut avoir de lourdes conséquences sur la santé mentale. L'épuisement, le stress, l'anxiété et l'isolement sont bien plus répandus qu'on ne le dit — et les données le confirment.

Une étude nationale réalisée en 2024 par le Centre canadien d'excellence pour les aidants révèle que 47 % des aidants se sentent fatigués en raison de leurs responsabilités ; 44 % se disent inquiets ou anxieux, et 37 % se sentent dépassés. Et ce n'est pas tout : en moyenne, les aidants consacrent 5,1 heures par jour aux soins, ce qui représente plus de 30 heures de soins non rémunérés par semaine — soit presque l'équivalent d'un emploi à temps plein.

Pour ceux et celles qui jonglent entre le rôle d'aidant et un emploi, l'impact est encore plus marqué. Selon Recherche en santé mentale Canada, un aidant travailleur sur trois souffre d'épuisement professionnel, et ils sont près de deux fois plus susceptibles de s'absenter du travail pour des raisons de santé mentale que leurs collègues sans responsabilités d'aidant.

À l'ACSM, nous le constatons chaque jour. Que quelqu'un prenne soin d'un être cher ou tente de préserver sa propre santé en même temps, le soutien est essentiel — pour les deux.

Si vous êtes aidant ou aidante, vous méritez, vous aussi, d'être pris en charge.

Caregivers show up every day and often without recognition or rest and can take a real toll on mental health. Burnout, stress, anxiety and isolation are more common than we talk about and the data backs this up.

A 2024 national study by the Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence found that 47% of caregivers say they feel tired because of their caregiving responsibilities; 44% feel worried or anxious and 37% feel overwhelmed. And it doesn't stop there. On average, caregivers provide 5.1 hours of care a day, adding up to more than 30 hours of unpaid care per week. This is nearly the equivalent of a full-time job.

For those balancing caregiving with employment, the impact is even sharper. According to the Mental Health Research Canada, one in three working caregivers experience burnout and they are nearly twice as likely to miss work due to mental health reasons compared to those without caregiving responsibilities.

At CMHA, we see this every day. Whether someone is caring for a loved one or trying to manage their own wellbeing at the same time, support matters for both.

If you're a caregiver, you deserve care too.

CMHA Algoma will be closed Good Friday, April 3 and Easter Monday, April 6 for the Easter Holiday. We will reopen for regular hours on Tuesday April 7.

Have a wonderful holiday.

Visibility is powerful. This year, International Transgender Day of Visibility is focused on safety and building power across generations. Because being seen should mean being safe. It should mean access to care.

Trans people are living full, ordinary lives while navigating systems that don’t always make space.

Today is about visibility, but what comes next is what matters.
