As part of National Family Caregivers Month in November, the All Access Employee Resource Group and the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Office are hosting a seminar with guest speaker Anna Le Mon, MPH, MSSW.
Caregivers have a tough job, whether they are caring for aging parents or a child with special needs. In this presentation, you will learn about what it means to be a family caregiver and statistics on caregiving in the US. We will discuss the physical, emotional and financial effects of caregiving and common issues that arise between family members caring for a loved one. You will learn information on how to get support, find respite care and manage your own self-care. Finally, we will outline where to start and how to make a plan with regard to caregiving for a family member.
