On-Demand Webinar: Flattening the Caregiver Crisis Curve
A Torchlight Conversation with the National Alliance for Caregiving and Rosalynn Carter Institute to mark National Family Caregiver Month.
Recorded November 18, 2020 at 1:00 pm ET
Even before COVID-19 struck, a growing number of Americans were already challenged with family caregiving responsibilities, their own deteriorating health, and difficulties balancing work and family caregiving responsibilities. Caregivers in Crisis, a recent report from The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving (RCI) found that 83% of caregivers reported increased stress related to caregiving since the start of the pandemic. With an estimated 53 million caregivers in the United States, according to the recent Caregiving in the US report from AARP and National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC), this crisis is affecting one out of every six Americans directly as well as the family members and loved ones they care for.
Please join C. Grace Whiting, J.D., President and CEO, National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC), and Jennifer Olsen, DrPH, Executive Director of the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving (RCI) along with Torchlight’s Adam Goldberg, M.Ed., CEO and, and Carolyn Romano, J.D., Vice President of Product, for the Flattening the Caregiver Crisis Curve webinar. The panel will address the impact COVID-19 is having on family caregivers, who are also balancing the demands of work. The panelists will discuss:
- Challenges facing working family caregivers
- Possible solutions to improve the health, strength, and resilience of caregivers
- Crossover caregiver skills that employers should embrace
- Importance of sharing personal experiences and stories to break down barriers and enhance dialogue in the workplace
