Episode 117: THE COMING CAREGIVING CRISIS, WITH GUEST JOHN SULLIVAN

The Survivor's Guide to Life

The need for caregiving - by medical personnel, first responders, family members and paid caregivers - is increasing astronomically but high stress work situations, low pay, and lack of support and respect for the profession is putting caregivers at risk across the country. The nature of caregiving with its intense commitment to giving selflessly, while working in the extraordinary reality of suffering, sickness and death, takes a toll on caregivers' minds and bodies. Caregivers are burning out and breaking down physically. Our guest, missionary and caregiver John Sullivan joins us for a discussion of this topic with suggestions for how to help caregivers become more resilient in their calling.
