Do you think the Center for Disease Control should track caregiver stress? Denise Brown, founder of Caregiving.com, does and she’s organized an effort to make it happen.
According to a petition she posted on Change.org, Brown believes, “If we understand how many family caregivers are stressed and the reasons for their stress, we have data to lobby for effective solutions and programs to help family caregivers.” After all, argues Brown, unpaid, family caregivers provide critical care – administering meds, cleaning wounds, monitoring health, and are a key part of the healthcare ecosystem. And, “even if 10 percent of family caregivers feel stressed, we still have more than 6 million overworked, unpaid and unsupported individuals providing health care.”
