Our next Caring Conversation will take place in English, and will be moderated by social worker Lucy Barylak and professional coach and educator Joanne Besner.
A sandwich generation caregiver is responsible for caring for their own children as well as their aging parents or older dependents. On this episode of Caring Conversations, Lucy and Joanne will discuss the significant emotional, financial and physical stress that sandwich generation caregivers may face as they juggle the needs of these two different generations. They will also discuss the role that grandparents may play in supporting their children in parenting. During this episode, Lucy and Joanne will be joined by caregiver Janice Heft who will share how this role has impacted her relationships.
