The stories you hold matter.
Sharing them can help make care better for everyone in Alberta.
Whether your care experience was good or bad, frustrating or uplifting, we'd love to hear more. Care Opinion Canada makes it simple and safe to share your story.

Tara's story
Click the video below, recreated by an actor, to hear Tara (not her real name) reflecting on the experience of sending her mother into care.
"I didn't realize how heavy those papers would feel, sending my mom into care," she said. "But then I saw how gentle they approached her; learning what soothed her, what sparked joy, what made her feel safe. Over that month they gave me back the space to be her daughter again. I don't think I ever admitted how much that meant to me."
Dave's story
Your story matters. When you don't feel seen or heard, sometimes it's important to speak up. In the video below, Dave (not his real name) describes an experience in which he "just can't shake this feeling. I wish I'd asked for help."
