Resources for elder caregivers

It's estimated that between 15 and 20 million U.S. employees are caring for aging parents and that caregiving results in more than $30 billion a year in lost productivity. CMHS offers a helpful new video which reviews programs and resources that are available to caregivers and those caring for elder parents. These programs could offer valuable support to any of your employees who have caregiving responsibilities.
