Caring for Caregiver at UCSF November 16
November celebrates National Family Caregiver's Month. One in every six Americans is a family caregiver, and their number keeps growing. More than 50 million family caregivers across the country provide over 80% of all homecare, contributing more than $257 billion worth of work. Businesses lose up to $29 billion annually because of employees who must provide care to family members.
More Americans join the ranks of family caregivers every day. Most assume their new duties with no training or support. They struggle to balance the demands of family and work with providing care to their loved ones. Caregivers suffer financial, emotional, and physical stresses as they try to care for seriously ill family members. National Family Caregivers' Month gives them the recognition they deserve.
Maryann Schacht, MSW, is a nationally recognized expert on caregiving issues. Her book, A Caregiver's Challenge: Living, Loving, Letting Go, has become an invaluable resource for caregivers. Based on her personal experience caring for her terminally ill husband and her professional expertise as a therapist, the book offers family caregivers the information and support they need. National health organizations including the American Cancer Society and the Alzheimer's Diseases Center have selected it for their libraries.
Schacht is a knowledgeable and engaging presenter who provides informed answers to tough questions. Her interviews have aired on KFTY-TV, Santa Rosa; KVON, Napa; WTPI, Indianapolis; KWXY-AM, Palm Springs; KFOR, Lincoln; Morris Desert Media Radio Group; and nationally syndicated "A Touch of Grey." She has addressed the Commonwealth Club, and served as the keynote speaker at many conferences.
