Caregivers play an essential role in the recovery and well-being of individuals with communication and swallowing disorders. Yet their own needs and challenges are often overlooked.
In recognition of National Family Caregivers Month, this course brings together a medical speech-language pathologist and a palliative care social worker to explore the emotional, physical, and relational aspects of caregiving. Together, they share insights from both clinical and psychosocial perspectives to show how caregiver burden can impact treatment adherence, patient progress, and overall quality of life.
Through real-world examples and practical strategies, you'll learn how to recognize signs of caregiver stress, build meaningful communication, and include caregivers as valued partners in the therapeutic process across settings and stages of care.
This session provides compassionate, evidence-informed tools to help you support families more effectively, strengthen the therapeutic relationship, and improve outcomes for everyone involved.
