In recognition of National Family Caregivers Awareness Day, this session highlights the critical role of family caregivers in our healthcare system—especially in managing chronic illness, disability, and end-of-life care.
Dr. Cynthia Tyson, professor in the Department of Teaching and Learning, examines how social factors—such as race, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, geographic location, language and religion—shape caregiving experiences, influence access to resources, and impact support networks. She provides valuable insights and practical strategies to strengthen caregiver resilience and well-being.
