Virtual Event- Stand By Me: Lessons Learned as a Family Caregiver and a Caregiving Scientist- Allison Applebaum

In this talk, Allison will explore four of the most important lessons that she learned as a result of her career in caregiving science and her experience as a family caregiver: (1) caregivers are responsible for conveying patients’ personhood, for telling their story and making it matter to those who are providing medical care; (2) caregivers are critical members of the healthcare team, and have responsibilities that range from performing medical and nursing tasks, to case management, to healthcare communication; (3) emotions are messengers, and the negative emotions that are so commonly experienced by caregivers can teach us how to live life more fully and authentically; and (4) despite suffering, caregiving provides us with an opportunity to connect to meaning and purpose. Attendees will leave the talk feeling empowered and with concrete tools and strategies they can use to navigate caregiving successfully.
