About this listen

Caregivers provide a vital service in our society but often struggle to address their own needs and wellbeing. Some caregivers assume their role out of obligation of being a spouse or immediate family member, while others never label themselves as a caregiver and are often unpaid and under-resourced.   In this episode, Dr. Caryn explores what it means to be a caregiver, why so many avoid identifying as caregivers, and how caregivers fill a critical gap in health care systems.     In this episode, you’ll also hear:  Reviewing different types of caregivers  Potential pitfalls of unidentified caregivers  Essential role of caregivers in health outcomes       Must-listen moments:   [00:02:36] The first approach to addressing the potential needs of a caregiver is identifying the individual caregiver.  [00:04:15] Unidentified caregivers may be exposed to experiencing unmet needs and personal adversities directly from providing care.  [00:04:40] If you are a caregiver, acknowledge that you are.
