HEALTHCAST: VOLUME 27

Hello Cara,

November is National Family Caregivers Month.

Providing care for loved ones is often fulfilling, but being a caregiver can be overwhelming and an incredibly stressful role. In fact, 47% of caregivers experience anxiety and 42% experience depression. Held every November, National Family Caregivers Month was created to share appreciation for family caregivers around the country. Caregivers are superstars and it’s important for them to take care of their own well-being and to understand that their health matters just as much as those for whom they care.  

This month, reach out to any friends or family members who are acting as caregivers. Share these inspiring stories and articles below, and offer to lend a hand, whether it be helping with a busy schedule, lending an ear or even cooking dinner. Sometimes even the smallest gesture can make a huge impact.

I hope you are well and I look forward to connecting with you soon,
Brenda

"Battling Alzheimer's Together: Glen Campell's Widow Shares a Glimpse into Their Love Story in New Book"

Part of Kim Campbell's self-care entailed participating in a support group with women who had lost their partners to dementia and Kim needed to know she was not alone. That led her to start a blog called CareLiving.org to encourage caregivers to care for themselves while caring for others. 

"We have received overwhelming positive response to the conference, and it is in no small part due to your participation. Your interesting, personal, and moving presentation painted a portrait of the true challenges of providing care for an individual with Alzheimer’s. Your presentation the highlight of this year’s conference and a major success."
