What is the SAAAC CARES Caregiver Support Program?
The SAAAC* CARES Caregiver Support Program is an innovative group-based intervention targeting the social, emotional, and psychological challenges that can arise among caregivers of children with autism. The CARES program provides a safe space for caregivers to share their experiences and develop a sense of shared identity as caregivers.
Depression and anxiety are some common mental health issues many of the caregivers deal with at the SAAAC Autism Centre. The joys and responsibilities of parenting a child with autism often come with a high degree of stress, as an incredible amount of care is demanded of parents. Caregivers of individuals with autism generally experience high levels of stress, anxiety, and depression when compared to families of typically developing children and children with other disabilities. This is why programs like SAAAC CARES are important.
