We are third year students in the University of New Brunswick-Humber College collaborative Bachelor of Nursing program. We developed a community project in collaboration with Storefront Humber Inc. to meet the needs of the Mimico community. Caregiver burden was identified as an issue in the community and as a result we created a brochure with a list of centralized resources for caregivers experiencing burden in the Mimico community. The brochure includes information regarding self-care, self referral, and available community resources in Mimico.
