Cargiving and Social Work; Episode 229
Description
On July 24, 2025, The National Alliance on Caregiving in collaboration with AARP completed a study on #cargiving in America in 2025. The study showed 63 million Americans are caregivers. One in four adults are providing care for someone with a chronic or disabiliting condition.
Nearly 1/3 of caregivers are caring for both adults with a disability or complex medical conditions and a child under 18. These individuals are know as the sandwich generation.
The host explains the golden opportunity there is for social workers to work in geriatrics not just in direct practice but in the Macro levels especially on the policy side. The host provides where social workers can look for roles to work with older adults.
The podcast is sponsored by DBA Bas Moreno Consulting providing financial education and counseling for people of color in the sandwich generation who are struggling with their finances while caregiving.
