Take the test : Are you a caregiver? (in French only)
Être un pilier dans l’aide ou le soutien que vous apportez aux aîné·e·s de votre entourage peut amener beaucoup de valorisation, mais aussi représenter certains défis. Répondez à ce jeu-questionnaire pour savoir quel type de pilier vous êtes pour les aîné·e·s de votre entourage.

To evaluate the health of your relationship, note the presence of the following elements in your interactions with the person you care for.

How am I feeling? 
Translated from pages 13-14 of the Guide d’accompagnement à l’intention des proches aidants du Conseil des aînés et des retraités de la MRC des Appalaches
