While there may not be a handbook that will teach you everything you need to know about caregiving responsibilities, there is a handy-dandy resource that I’m delighted to share with you. It’s the AARP Family Caregiving Guide, a useful tool for new caregivers as well as experienced caregivers, and you can read all about it—and download it—in this latest article.

Caregiver ERGs are employee-led networks that support those balancing work and family caregiving. Modeled after other successful ERGs, these groups address the unique needs of caregivers.

Our aging society would benefit from policy approaches that encompass the needs of patients as well as their caregivers. Families continue to be the indispensable providers of care for aging and disabled loved ones, but their needs are often overlooked.

The term caregiver represents so much more than a title—it embodies compassion, dedication, and strength. In the United States and Canada, caregivers play a vital role by providing direct care and support to others, whether in a personal or medical context. Caregivers are the unsung heroes who ensure that others are cared for, supported, and valued. Their work is essential to the well-being of individuals, families, and communities. #CaregivingKinetics #WhenCaregivingCalls #Caregiver #Caregiving

If you have noticed your employees could benefit from additional support with family caregiving responsibilities, you may wish to consider the establishment of an Employee Resource Group (ERG) for caregivers. In this article, I share a few of the best practices I’ve seen among the ERGs I’ve worked with.

How has your own caregiving experience shaped your attitudes? In order to truly reflect on this question, I would encourage you to “lean in” to the caregiving experience, for it is only in acceptance of the caregiver role that the burden of care is mitigated and the beauty of care can be revealed.

The new year is often seen as a time for fresh starts, but many resolutions fade after just a week or two. This January, Mental Wellness Month offers an opportunity to focus on something truly lasting: your mental well-being. For caregivers, it’s a chance to reflect on their own mental health and ensure they have the tools to stay strong and balanced throughout the year. #CaregivingKinetics #WhenCaregivingCalls #Caregiver #Caregiving
