About this listen

 Caring Better & Braver offers family caregivers a means to feel recognized, connected, supported and informed. Caregiving is both a joy and a challenge. Most of the time, we don't see ourselves as "caregivers". Instead we identify as the wife, husband, parent, grandparent, child, sibling, friend or neighbor. Suddenly you realize that you've become a caregiver and it's a real job - often unpaid. Millions of people find themselves in this situation every year. About 1 in 7 Americans take on the role of an unpaid family caregiver at any given time. You are not alone!Caring Better & Braver Social Sciences

    Social Isolation & Loneliness
    Apr 26 2023

    Social isolation and loneliness are widespread. More than 1/3 of adults aged 45 and older feel lonely. Nearly 1/4 of adults aged 65 and older are considered to be socially isolated. This can have a huge impact on a person's physical and mental health, quality of life, and longevity. Shayna Schertz, Wellness Education Specialist at Gundersen Health System and member of the Wisconsin Coalition to End Social Isolation and Loneliness, tells us more about these issues, how to recognize the signs, and how to help yourself or someone else.
