Celebrating the Caregiving Community

February 17th is National Caregiver Day, a holiday that honors and celebrates the nearly 40 million Americans who take care of someone else - an aging parent, a child with special needs, or a friend or neighbor with chronic disease.   Many caregivers don't realize that they are filling this role and simply see it as their duty, when in reality it is one of the most selfless thing one can do. What could be more important than taking care of another person who needs help, especially when it's a family member?   As we've found more and more people within our company are caregivers, we've been searching for a way to give back, highlight their experiences, and say "thank you."    So, I've invited a few guests onto Celebrations Chatter for a forum discussion on caregiving. They are:   Rhonda Klug, who I work with at Harry & David and has lead our efforts to give back to caregivers Amy Groyer, Author of "Juggling Life, Work, and Caregiving, and AARP's caregiving columnist Gary Barg, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Caregiver Media Group   Together, we'll take a look at many topics pertinent to caregiving, including the stigmas that surround caregiving and programs that can assist caregivers as they navigate one of the most important roles they will ever take.     New podcast episodes released weekly on Thursday.
