What We’re Following Today October 30, 2020: Caregiver Info

Did you know November is National Family Caregiver Month

This program for caregiver essays is really a great idea. We know at Generation Bridge that we learn more from those who have been there before. Creating a repository of stories seems perfect to share the expertise and is a wonderful undertaking from this agency on aging. I believe they are out in Nebraska but if others know about this kind of program elsewhere please share.
