w/ host(s) Dr. Gordon Atherley


Now Playing:Family Caregivers Helping Family Caregivers via Social Media

[Bookmark] Kathy Kastner and Nancy Coldham are experts prominent in media and strongly interested in social media. They share their knowledge and experience with family caregivers who’ve travelled the hard road of family caregiving and then turn around to offer a helping hand to family caregivers just starting their journey down the family caregiving road. They give us their impressions of family caregivers and family caregiving. They explain how social media works, and how family caregivers can use it to tell their stories. They offer advice to family caregivers who want to help other family caregivers, via social media. They explain the challenges for family caregivers who want to use social media and suggest the ways to overcome these. They tell us what success is in the use of social media, and how family caregivers can recognize success and benefit from it. They recommend things they want done by governments and healthcare systems to support family caregivers helping family caregivers.
