Episode 20 - Sibling Caregiving to a Younger Brother on the Autism Spectrum with guest Melissa Ngo

Anyone who’s ever cared at home for a younger sister or brother with a lived experience of having a disability or other special needs can relate to the unique challenges other sibling caregivers grow up with. This episode illustrates through storytelling how the lines can sometimes blur for sibling caregivers between being a care recipient’s older brother or sister, their caregiver and perhaps even taking on the role of being regarded as a third parent—all the while having to navigate their own journey through adolescence.

The Service Operations Group is made up of organizations and programs that will deliver core services at Foundry qathet, or play a key role in shaping how services are provided. This working group focuses on supporting the development of the 5 core services in Foundry qathet.

Along with our broader public engagement, this is one of the groups that meets regularly to support the development of Foundry qathet. Input from various service providers shapes everything from finalizing our centre's design, to mapping out hours of operation, to selecting systems for integration and so much more.

Each community designs a Foundry space with services that reflect local needs. At the heart of Foundry qathet is a collaborative, supportive community, and we’re grateful for everyone involved in making this a community-led project.

André’s insightful, sage wisdom points to long-overdue systemic changes needed towards elder care—both for overhauling approaches to long term care as well as supporting those seeking to age in place.

Happy National Family Caregiver Month! 💙

May is a time to recognize and celebrate the 8+ million caregivers across Canada who provide care to a family member, friend, or loved one. Caregiving plays a vital role in our communities, offering meaningful support while also coming with challenges.

This year’s theme, “Together in Caregiving,” highlights the importance of connection, shared support, and community. We’re excited to bring to life through events happening across BC and Canada. We’re thrilled to share a range of events and gatherings where caregivers can connect, share experiences, and access resources.

There are many ways to take part: join an event, connect with others, share a story, or take a moment for yourself.

Our participation helps secure the funding needed for the Sunshine Coast Hospice Society to provide compassionate support to people in our community affected by a life-limiting illness, death, and all types of grief.

The Hospice Society has arranged for BBQ burgers from the Lions Club, baked goods, raffle tickets, door prizes and great conversations. They will also have a space dedicated to viewing and discussing their "Living With Dying" documentary. Come and see how they use funds from our community, including those raised during Hike/Walk for Hospice.

We invite you to bring friends and family to join our team at 10 am on May 31st at the Sechelt Centre in Sechelt. Please let me know if you can volunteer for the 'Hike', as we need to arrange for Home Healthcare Network participants to have t-shirts for the morning so we can show our team support.

Also, please note that the event has moved from Mission Point Park to the Seaside Centre in Sechelt. The short "Walk for Hospice" will start at the Centre before the celebration.

Our team's goal is to raise $1000 for the Hospice. There is no fee to participate, but if you would like to donate the link is below. Please feel free to share this link with friends and family!

Thank you for contributing to the success of Hike for Hospice 2026, our primary annual fundraiser. Your donation directly benefits people in our Coastal community.  We welcome you to join us for
