Perspectives on Caregiver Mental Health and Wellbeing

Listen in to a conversation with Kendra Washington-Bass ’94, chair of the Black Alumni of Notre Dame, and Danielle Duchatellier Boucree, MSW, LCSW-C, MBA ’91 about how caregivers can preserve their mental health, navigate the stress and emotional challenges of caregiving, and strengthen relationships during this demanding time.

As our society faces the emotional, financial, professional, and spiritual pressures of caring for aging or sick parents, spouses, young children or other loved ones, many in our Notre Dame community may need support and practical advice.

Join the Black Alumni of Notre Dame for Caregiving with Dignity to:

• hear Domer caregiver stories,
• gain insight on caregiver mental health and wellness issues,
• get tips on financial and legal issues to consider when creating a caregiving plan for your loved one or yourself,
• navigate cultural concerns around making challenging care decisions,
• explore  how to preserve generational family history and wisdom, and
• learn how to develop an all-hands-on-deck/nobody-left-out family caregiver approach.

Caregiving with Dignity is co-sponsored on ThinkND by the Notre Dame Initiative on Race and Resilience.
