About the event
More than 65 million people, representing 29% of the U.S. population, provide care for a chronically ill, disabled, or aged family member or friend each year.When we think of a family caregiver, what images come to mind? Do we picture an adult child managing medical appointments for an aging parent, or an older adult assisting their spouse who is recovering from a fall? The reality is that caregiving can take many different forms. It may involve providing short-term care, managing financial affairs, coordinating doctor visits, or helping a loved one or friend with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating.
Here are some of the topics we will cover:
What is a Caregiver
Embracing the Spousal Caregiver Role
Understanding the Role of Parent Caregiving for Children with Special Needs
Caring for Aging Parent(s)
