Can I just say that I am so excited to see the #caregiving storyline on @AbbottElemABC tonight! Even if it is Ava… 😏

#MillennialCaregivers Have you given any thought to who will care for you when you get older? What is your care plan?

[Aisha Adkins, MPA, CNP @AishaAdkins]

So many #millennials aren't having kids for several reasons, including that they're #caregivers for aging parents & can't/don't want to have kids of their own. I often wonder who we will depend on for our own care when the time comes!

U.S. immigration and welfare policies have limited access to the public safety net for many lawfully present immigrants for over 2 decades, including an arbitrary five-year waiting period—often referred to as the “5-year bar”. Congress needs to change this https://t.co/JvvVh5jr8t

#QOTD "How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these." — George Washington Carver

“…normalizing [feelings of sadness, anger, guilt, and anxiety] is important so people can feel less alone and more able to communicate what they are going through to gain support.”

How do you cope with your emotions as a caregiver?

[DiverseElders @DiverseElders]

Caregivers can experience a range of emotions, including sadness, anger, guilt, and anxiety. It can feel shameful to admit this, and yet normalizing these feelings is important so people can feel less alone. Here are some key tips for caregivers: https://t.co/CB4WQqj1oR

#Queer #MillennialCaregivers aren’t prepared to care for their parents at young ages – or to hide their queerness when caring for parents who don’t accept or understand the fullness of who they are.

Caregiver issues like depression, isolation, and burnout are becoming urgent. "Caregivers often become the voice for those who can no longer speak, the legs for those who can no longer walk, and the eyes for those who can no longer see." https://t.co/3dV6Xe3C9K @jaxdotcom

[Aisha Adkins, MPA, CNP @AishaAdkins]
