Past Grants

To address a lack of effective and accessible employee benefits to help employee caregivers meet the dual demands of work and their caregiving responsibilities, this project will involve the co-design of a new navigation program to provide immediate assistance to an employee caregiver to assess their needs and help facilitate the use of existing employer benefits, connection to relevant and preferred community services, and problem-solving, particularly within the health care system. The navigation program will address the needs and prevent or reduce the well-documented psychological distress that often occurs when individuals balance the roles of employee and caregiver.
