Caring for a loved one can take many forms, and no caregiver should have to navigate the journey alone.

ALPA (Association Lavalloise des Personnes Aidantes) offers a range of services to support caregivers throughout Laval, including psychosocial support, respite care, support groups, training, conferences and social activities.

Whether you're caring for an aging parent, a loved one with a disability, or a child with special needs, ALPA provides resources and support to help you along the way.

Because caregivers deserve care and support, too. ❤️
