Juggling Work, Home and Caregiving

In the past 50 years, there has been a dramatic shift in the role of women, the traditional homemaker and caregiver for the family. Although almost 60% of adult women now work outside the home, typically providing a significant portion of the household income, they still provide needed caregiving for children, spouse, and aging and frail parents. This ACAP program will offer participants information about trends relative to working while also providing care for an aging parent, supportive workplace policies, and strategies for balancing the many demands of working outside the home while also caring for one’s family and older loved ones. Program Presenter: Mary Mitchell, Family Caregiver Support Administrator
