Your Proactive Caregiver Advocate: Dr. Cynthia Speaks! Topic: Caregivers, Multi-Tasking and Family and Medical Leave (FMLA)

Caregivers, Multi-Tasking and Family and Medical Leave (FMLA)  Caregivers are jugging an array of activities and duties. They cover the gamut of areas, like work, schools, children, and home obligations while caring for a loved one. Lord knows; I did it for many years. Family and Medical Leave (FMLA) provides employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave per year. It also requires that their group health benefits be maintained during the leave. Please take advantage of your right to use FMLA if needed. You should not have to choose between holding a job and the care of someone you love!  Visit the website: U.S. Department of Labor for more information.
