Our Approach

Whole Health Programing

MVCN aims to decrease feelings of isolation while increasing connection, hope and wellbeing through peer-support, mentoring and education.

Education and Training

Online peer moderators and the Hero Care Resource directory, a self-service tool, ensure individuals have access to critical information and make informed decisions regarding their wellbeing and the wellbeing of the loved ones in their care.

Peer Support Groups

With regularly scheduled peer-support groups available, caregivers can connect with, listen to, share with and learn from diverse caregivers at all stages of their caregiver journey both online and in-person.

Peer Mentoring

Caregivers can receive practical insights and relevant advice from people who’ve been there before. MVCN offers group and 1-1 mentoring using evidence-based peer support models.
