Transitions: Annie

This week, we had the privilege of interviewing Annie, a family caregiver of two adult children on the autism spectrum. She shared her insights about supporting her children into adulthood, while also maintaining other important family relationships. We are so grateful to Annie for her time and wisdom! Our quote of the week was from Megan and it was short and sweet: "Change is hard." We recognize that there are always opportunities for growth and good things with change, but that does not diminish the difficulty of it. Our news of the week can be found at this link: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/04/09/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-highlights-substantial-progress-on-the-presidents-care-agenda-during-month-of-action-on-care/ This highlights President Biden's support for care workers and recognizes the important work they do in caring for children, older adults, and those with disabilities and chronic health conditions. Sometimes the line between care worker and family caregiver is not that distinct, and we want to celebrate all those who do the work. The best way we can do this is by supporting policies that enable health and well-being for care workers and family caregivers.
