Co-Design Workshops

CareFit uses a qualitative, co-design method involving workshops and focus groups to gather input from those most closely connected to caregiving and community health. Insights from these sessions will directly shape the development of the 12-week exercise and activity program.

We are engaging three participant groups:

Caregivers

Caregivers of individuals living with dementia

Certified Exercise Professionals

Certified exercise profeessionals with experience supporting older adults or specialized populations.

Administrators and Decision-Makers

Administrators and decision-makers from community centres, health clinics, caregiver organizations, fitness facilities, and aging-related services.  
Through guided discussions, participants will identify priorities, barriers, and facilitators to ensure the program is feasible, acceptable, and relevant for caregivers. Program evaluation will occur in a later phase of the project.
