In this episode: Evan and Savy share their stories, why caregivers’ dreams matter, new bill supporting Pennsylvania caregivers
In the first-ever episode of our new podcast for caregivers you can learn about the caregiver journey of your podcast hosts Evan and Savy, including challenges they faced and steps they took to address them. You will also learn about the rationale behind their passion projects.
Evan talks about ChilltimeTV, a wellness app for caregivers, whereas Savy gives you an overview of Gimme a Break, a nonprofit providing caregivers with self-care resources and services they need and deserve.
If you are a caregiver based in Pennsylvania we share some good news for you. Namely, the new government bill announced by The Pennsylvania Department of Aging which brings new resources for caregivers including care management, benefit counselling,caregiver education and training and financial help (subject to eligibility).
As a food for thought we discuss the idea of fulfilling our dreams as caregivers, including examples from our personal lives showing how following our passions helped us bounce back and find balance in life.
Last but not least, Evan shares important considerations about kidney health.
