In the healthcare community and industry, how often do we talk about the care for caregivers of people with illnesses?
In this episode, Dr. Graham and our guest, Althea Lloyd PhD discussed about supporting the supporters, caring for the caregivers and advocating for advocators of their loved ones with sickness because at the end of the day, we are humans and we equally have needs to be met - moreso if you are taking care of another human being who is sick and needs more time, care and attention.
They talked abour different ways you can support yourself if you are a caregiver of a sick loved one and ways to ask for support.
They also talked about breaking social norms and cultural old beliefs that’s hindering caregivers to know their limits and be able to support their sick family member and give the utmost care they need even if sometimes, that means having to relocated them to a facility that will allow them to have access to better care and assistance that you cannot always provide.
