As the population ages, more caregiving is being provided by people who aren't health care professionals. About 1 in 3 adults in the United States provides care to other adults as informal caregivers. A caregiver is anyone who provides help to another person in need, such as an ill spouse or partner, a disabled child, or an aging relative. However, family members who are actively caring for an older adult often don't self-identify as a "caregiver." Recognizing this role can help caregivers receive the support they need.
Amerikan Therapy gets personal in talking about their experiences as family caregivers to both Cancer and Alzheimers patients. Our guest clinicians come together to provide actionable tactics for managing the stress of being an adult caregiver. This is a no holds bar conversation on the emotional, mental and financial impacts of being the caregiver for another’s adult.
