Nunavut News – Disabilities Society teams up with national non-profit on caregiving needs in Nunavut

The Nunavummi Disabilities Makinnasuaq Society (NDMS) is teaming up with the newly established Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence (CCCE) on mapping out Nunavut’s home and family caregiving needs.

The organizations hope this initiative will illuminate the state of home caregiver needs in the territory, to both record the current state of caregiving and to highlight any existing gaps. This will help lay the groundwork for seeing what programs and supports are needed for those who need caregivers, such those with disabilities and Elders.
