The E-Series: Empowering Caregivers – Episode 3

n this final installment of our Empowering Caregivers mini-series, we'll rejoin Licensed Clinical Social Workers Kat Gibson and Caroline Oxford as they tackle how to navigate the caregiving role and the relationship changes that take place between the caregiver and the one they are caring for. It can be a difficult balancing act trying to discern when to step in and intervene, when to support independence and how to talk thru these challenging transitions.
