Informal kinship placements variously include children whose legal status has not changed (i.e., parents/guardians maintain legal custody), but the child is placed with an extended family member or a trusted community member (as in customary care) on an emergency or temporary basis under voluntary conditions or by court order. Formal kinship placements typically involve extended family homes and caregivers who have gone through a formal review, training, and approval process that is similar to the process foster homes undergo. 3, record 2, English, - informal%20kinship%20care%20placement

Il y a de nombreux visages à la proche aidance, que ce soit par exemple d'accompagner un proche à ses visites médicales, tondre la pelouse d'un voisin vieillissant, faire les courses d'une collègue malade ou gérer les tâches quotidiennes d'un parent handicapé. Cette aide peut se faire à distance ou à proximité, à temps plein ou à temps partiel, de façon permanente ou temporaire. Enfin, cela peut concerner autant les gens de sa famille, que des amis, des voisins ou des collègues. 5, record 3, French, - soins%20informels

Trop souvent, le professionnel croit que l'aide naturelle est synonyme d'aide familiale. Or, le milieu familial n'est pas toujours le meilleur endroit où chercher de l'aide; de plus, le réseau social extra-familial comporte de nombreuses ressources mal connues et sous-utilisées. 2, record 3, French, - soins%20informels

natural caregiver: This term seems to be used often in Health Canada public health texts to mean a family member or friend who provides care, for example, for an older person or a person with HIV/AIDS. The adjective "natural" does not seem to refer so much to innate caregiving abilities as to the fact that these caregivers do not generally have any training for the role, and are usually not providing care in a professional capacity. 4, record 4, English, - informal%20caregiver
