Balancing Work and Family Caregiving: Making the Impossible Possible [Video]

Are you or is someone you know a caregiver?

Boost your caregiving knowledge with the Caregiving Essentials Webinar Series which is part of a free online course offered by McMaster Continuing Education.

More than 3.5 million Canadians in the workforce are also caring for a family member or friend in an unpaid caregiving role and they are stressed to the max. Whether you are in the sandwich generation trying to balance work and care, or are an older adult whose children are walking that tightrope now, or will be in near the future, you will not want to miss this special webinar.

Join host Donna Thomson as she welcomes Dr. Allison Williams, a social geographer and professor in the School of Geography and Earth Sciences at McMaster University, in a personal conversation about her research that focuses on improving workplace practices for supporting employees who are also family caregivers.

Whether you’re currently navigating the delicate balance of unpaid family caregiving and a career, or preparing for the journey ahead, this webinar will add invaluable insights and essential skills to your personal and professional toolkit.

McMaster Continuing Education launched a new FREE online course, Creating Caregiver-Friendly Workplaces, that was co-created by Donna and Dr. Williams to address the complex challenges arising for members of the workforce who face an increase in caregiving responsibilities at home.
