Kristin and Liza discuss how sometimes the most difficult person to care for is yourself. After all, you can't care for anybody if you can't care for yourself.
Kristin and Liza are joined by Molly Cooney and Tami Jackson of the Wisconsin Board for People with Developmental Disabilities to discuss caregiving from a more administrative angle. Maneuvering through bureaucratic red tape and legislative jargon is headache inducing, but it's critical to understanding - and providing - care in the state you live.
Kristin and Liza are joined by Jessica Cannon, author of 'The Proactive Caregiver'. We discuss the transition into caregiving roles, coming to terms with a different way of life, and being proactive in the name of providing the best possible care - both for you and those being cared for.
