Support Groups

Young caregivers are children, youth and young adults (ages 5 to 25) who have a family member that requires care due to illness (mental, physical), disability (cognitive, physical), or addictions. The Powerhouse program offers a variety of services and activities, including counselling, to empower young caregivers and their families to foster resilience, reduce isolation and caregiver fatigue, alleviate stress and anxiety, and invest peer support and life skills.

Youth Addictions

The Young Carers Program supports children and youth (5-18) who have assumed a significant caregiving role for a family member coping with a mental health or addiction issue, a physical or developmental challenge; a chronic or life threatening illness, or a language barrier. The Young Carers Program offers activities and programs throughout Toronto that provide recreational, social, educational and skill development opportunities for young carers, thereby connecting them with peers and giving them time to just have fun!
