Webinar: "SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE!" JUGGLING CARE WORK AND PAID WORK IN MID-LIFE
The CORE Caregivers Group hosted a session to showcase what research is revealing on mid-life caregivers (age 50+) who provide care to family or friends and the kinds of challenges that arise for those juggling care work and paid work. The session also prompted questioning on what kinds of resources need to be available to support these unique caregivers.
The guest speakers were:
Jacquie Eales, Research Manager, Research on Aging, Policies and Practice (RAPP)
Janet Fast, Professor and RAPP Co-Director, Dept. of Human Ecology
Kenya Kondo, Co-founder, MyMatchWork.com
Wendy Moyle, founder Wendy’s Errands
