It will be an honor and privilege to speak at your event. The topics on caregiver need, and caregiving supports are huge. Family caregiving is a new perspective of accountability, often with limited knowledge of what comes. Caring for loved ones has increasingly settled in the laps of family and close friends, often ill-prepared to take on the role.
Informal caregivers are in high demand. In part because most people cannot afford paid caregiver support. With the proper guidance and support, informal caregivers can handle the role while embracing the experience. As a speaker, I dispel the myth associated with caregiving as only bathing, dressing, feeding and bedtime. While there are countless tools and resources available to assist those caring for loved ones, the utilization of the many available services remains untapped.
My goal is to support new, current, and evolving needs of the caregiver experience and assist to make the care of someone less stressful. I offer tips and resource guidance along with my Black Book Journal program that assists to ensure vital and important documents are in one place for easy access and sharing with family and healthcare practitioners. If you are a caregiver looking for support, let me help you!
