Speaker: Stephanie Muskat (MSW,RSW)

Stephanie understands (firsthand) the mental toll caregiving can take as a previous primary caregiver to her mother and grandmother and also as an inpatient acute care social worker and psychotherapist to caregivers in private practice. In this rich conversation, Stephanie will share her experiences of caregiving, the significant stressors and isolation she experienced, and the process of identifying large scale system issues experienced by many caregivers. She will talk about approaches to mitigating the most common caregiver concerns and ongoing change needed to influence long-term mental health outcomes.
