This topic brings to light the many good things caregivers do and how we, as informal (family, non-paid) and formal (professional) caregivers, are in this journey together with our collaborative and cooperative relationships. Join us to share your observations about what it means to you to be a caregiver—the downs and the ups, the lows and the highs, the challenges and the victories.
