On Generation Care A Conversation With Jennifer N. Levin (Online)
SEE EVENT DETAILS
More than 10 million millennials are caring for aging parents before they've been able to fully launch their careers and consider starting their own families, and that's not including the incalculable numbers of people affected by long COVID. Yet no one is naming this problem, talking about how it feels, or offering resources to ease the pressure of millennial caregiver burnout.
Writer and caregiver Jennifer N. Levin was 32 when her father was diagnosed with a rare degenerative illness. As she struggled with few resources and little support, she created Caregiver Collective, a national online support group for millennial caregivers.
Join Jennifer for a powerful conversation exploring our current culture of care and the impact it has on millennial caregivers. Jennifer shares insights from her latest book Generation Care, which offers wisdom from her own experience and her support group, Caregiver Collective. Jennifer details the urgency of caregiving, the financial burden for caregivers, and ambiguous loss caregivers experience. She also offers a roadmap to the types of solutions that can begin helping people now as well as build future policies.
We, as a culture and society, talk about caregiving broadly-it's something many of us may think, "not us" or "we'll figure that out later." But caregiving is an increasingly urgent crisis. Jennifer's work brings this crisis to the fore, illuminates the real stories and people who are most affected, underscores the need for shifts in policy and allocating support where it is most needed, and sounds a clarion call for change.
Sliding Scale: $0-$25.
