“There are only four kinds of people in the world. Those who have been caregivers. Those who are caregivers. Those who will be caregivers. And, those who will need caregivers.”
-Rosalynn Carter
These impactful words started the discussion at the Navigating the Caregiver Role seminar held at Ya Ya’s in Wichita, KS. Jennifer Traglia of Grand Gen Resources explained how the role of caregiver has changed and strategies to adjust our perceptions.
Traglia stressed the importance of self-care as a caregiver and not to harbor feelings of guilt. She offered multiple resources for respite services which are now more commonly used as the overwhelming stress of care giving has become a trending topic.
