Carer Respite Program

The Carer Respite Program aims to provide regular, planned, flexible and creative respite support options to carers of a person with a mental illness.

For respite to occur there must be a carer.

• Carers can be relatives, friends or neighbours.
• They do not have to live with the person they care for.
• They do not have to be in receipt of Carers Allowance.
• A carer provides ongoing support to a person with a mental illness.

This program is funded by SOLAS (Supported Options in Lifestyle and Access Services Inc.)
