An outing. A conversation. Support with a daily routine. A chance to make a choice and be heard. ❤️

Everyday support can make a meaningful difference in someone’s independence, connection and quality of life.

Across Canada, support workers help people participate in the lives they want to lead—with dignity and respect.

CANSWA celebrates that contribution and the people who make it possible.
