Caregivers play an essential role in the recovery, rehabilitation and well-being of their loved ones. It's a role that is done behind the scenes and the work can often go unnoticed. In this episode, Caroline and her guests unpack the role of the caregiver when it comes to caring for someone living with heart disease, stroke or vascular cognitive impairment. The expert guest, Dr. Jill Cameron, professor of occupational health and occupational therapy at the University of Toronto and a funded researcher specializing in caregiver needs and support, offers advice for people who are hoping to build more solid boundaries when caring for their loved ones. Also featuring two family caregivers, their stories will illustrate the thoughts and feelings caregivers may experience when looking after someone who is dealing with ongoing health issues. It will also include suggestions for seeking support and achieving the optimal balance to ensure everyone is taken care of appropriately.
