I am a research coordinator at the IWK Health Centre. My team and I are currently running a study to help support unpaid caregivers of acquired brain injury (ABI) survivors across the province of Nova Scotia. Our study is called Caring Forward, and is funded by the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness. The goal of Caring Forward is to learn more about the experience and challenges of caregivers of ABI survivors, so that we can create new programs and supportive resources for them.
At this point, we are looking for people, organizations and associations, local or provincial, who would be willing to help in our recruitment efforts. Reaching caregivers is hard, so we need all the help we can get!
It can be by sending out an email with information about Caring Forward to members, or sharing information about Caring Forward on social media.
I am writing to ask if your organisation would be willing to help us. We can provide you with an email template, Facebook or Twitter posts, or any other type of recruitment material that you would like. You may use the recruitment material as you see fit.
Feel free to visit our website, www.caringforward.ca for more information about the study.
I am available to answer any questions you may have about the study, or ways to help. I could chat with you over the phone or the computer at a time that is preferable for you. We can also communicate over email if that is easier.
Thank you for considering this request.
