Description
Humans are living longer. Most people will likely be a caregiver or require caregiving, or both, in their lifetimes. There are over 53 million unpaid family caregivers in America. Most family caregivers don’t self-identify as “caregivers” because they are providing care to their loved ones. If one assists someone with their ADL (Activities of Daily Living), they are a caregiver. Discover the facts and figures of being a caregiver in America. Find resources and information to manage family caregiving in our modern world. Caregivers suffer from the top ten health concerns, and many don’t know how to help themselves when caregiving for their loved ones. Veronica Mitchell has written extensively on caregivers and caregiving in her column in the San Diego Union-Tribune.
In this Lecture, Veronica provides resources, tools, and information for better family caregiving. Veronica discusses ways family caregivers can improve their quality of life, prevent caregiver burnout, and build resilience.
