‘Who Cares: The Hidden Crisis of Caregiving and How We Solve it’
Caregiver Teleconnection sessions are one hour learning sessions that can be done via Zoom or over the phone for caregivers of older persons. Experts from around the country share information important to caregiving. Caregivers will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as hear from other caregivers.
Our sessions are geared for the family members taking care of a loved one over the age of 60. Professionals are also welcome to participate as well.
As caregivers, we can feel alone and invisible. But there are millions of people just like us around the world. In this talk, Kenway introduces her forthcoming book, ‘Who Cares: the hidden crisis of caregiving and how we solve it’. We’ll find out what care is like in other countries and how, no matter how alone we might feel, we have allies everywhere calling for change.
