Dr. Allison Applebaum will explore four important lessons she’s learned from 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 ranging from performing medical and nursing tasks, to case management, to healthcare communication; (3) emotions are messengers, and negative emotions 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.
