Emily Kenway - Author of 'Who Cares'

Are we 'freaked out' by the topic of care?

What's does community have to do with caring for others? And where do we, as individuals, and 'the system' play a role? These are all questions Suzanne tackles with Emily Kenway, esteemed author of 'Who Cares: the hidden crisis of caregiving and how we solve it'. Emily takes us through some of the key themes of her book - which, through unflinching investigation, asks why we have a 'care crisis'. Suzanne asks for Emily's 'rallying cry' to decision makers influencing carer support, and together they speak about their experiences of caring for loved ones.
