October 18 at
1 - 2 pm
lunch, munch, teach, learn, share!
1 NBCC CE Clock Hour available.
According to the Rosalyn Carter Institute for Family Care Givers one in five full-time employees is also providing care for someone who is aging, ill, or disabled, outside of their paid job.
Did you know:
- one in five full-time employees provides care for someone who is aging, ill, or disabled
- 80% of older adults have at least ONE chronic disease and 77% of older adults of color have at least TWO
- life expectancy has increased 30 years in the past century
- few employers support their employees in their caregiving roles; this is a growing public health and economic issue for employees and employers.
Question:
How can and will career development professionals assist family caregivers who work to navigate the responsibilities of caregiving and work?
Learning Objectives:
1) Identify multiple roles of caregivers and its impact on individuals in the workplace
2) Create a selfcare plan to address and prevent caregiver burnout and to improve work/life balance
3) Compare and Contrast the skillsets of caregivers to other career professional competencies

Recently, Rose retired after 37 years of Federal Service. Her last position was Transition Manager at the United States Naval Academy.
