YWCA Montreal has a quick online test which helps you decide whether your caregiving relationship is healthy.
“If there are unhealthy behaviours in the relationship,” the Y writes, “caring for someone can be particularly difficult… Whether or not these actions are intentional, they can have negative consequences on the well-being, confidence and self-esteem of the people involved in the relationship.”
If you feel good about the answers to the questionnaire, then you’re probably in a healthy relationship. But if you feel uncomfortable about some of the answers, then you may be in an unhealthy relationship.
If you live in Ontario, and you feel you may be in an unhealthy relationship, use our Find Services feature to look for agencies that offer Care for the Caregiver services in your part of the province.
