Working Caregivers Need Support
Our current generation of caregivers are balancing the needs of their loved ones with work responsibilities, child care, and more.
As millennials take on the role of caring for their aging parents, the number of caregivers in the workforce will continue to increase.
​
Traditional caregiving education focuses on the practical: preparing meals, administering medications, and so on. They are focused on the loved one who needs care. They are practical and necessary.
​
But what about the caregiver?

​

Juggling multiple roles

Neglect of personal health and well-being

About Our Founder
​
Dr. Sheri L. Yarbrough's 13 years of experience as a family care-giver have taught her the importance of including herself and her needs in the care journey with her mother, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's dementia.
During her career, Dr. Yarbrough has developed change management strategies for educational and non-profit organizations. Her Ph.D. in Educational Policy Studies was an invaluable tool for managing the interpersonal changes to the relationship with her mother.
The Praxis for Care is the foundation for her motto: care-giving is what you do for your loved one; giving-care is what you do for both of you. She created her business to give family care-givers a resource for navigating the demands of caring for a loved one.
Living the Praxis for Care chronicles Dr. Yarbrough's journey as a working dementia caregiver and provides invaluable tips and insights for other caregivers.
Straight Talk for Giving-Care shares stories and life lessons learned to help family caregivers create a journey that is satisfying for both people.
