October Discussion Series: Focus on Caregivers

Navigating the Caregiver Role

When thrust into a caretaking role after the diagnosis of a loved one, there are a lot of new demands and responsibilities for you to manage…and there’s not always a clear path of how to navigate the new role. From practical concerns like tracking medications and appointments, to personal concerns like how to adjust your relationship to your patient and establish healthy boundaries (not to mention taking care of your own personal or professional responsibilities!), it can be a big learning curve. Join this open discussion with other AYA cancer caregivers to share best practices and strategies about settling into your role as a caregiver.
