Caregiver, Supporter or Family Member

How we help you

Anyone who is a caregiver, supporter or family member to someone with a cancer diagnosis is welcome to become a Wellspring Niagara member free of charge and without referral.

Participating in this vibrant, supportive community gives you access to a wide range of resources, programs, speakers and events. Best of all it gives you a safe landing place among friends… people who understand that caregivers and supporters also need help balancing their own wellness with the needs and demands of caring for a loved one with cancer.

Caregiver

As a caregiver, you are providing sole or significant help to someone living with cancer. Caregivers may be partners, family members or close friends.

Supporter

As a supporter, you may be providing help to someone in a less official capacity. Supporters are typically family members or friends.

Family Member

Cancer impacts everyone in the family. Family support is also available for children.

Bereaved

While individuals usually join Wellspring before losing someone they love, some Wellspring's offer limited bereavement services.
