| SMF | 241 | 001 | Caregiving, Illness, and Relationships |
In the typical health care model most of the attention is focused on the patient and their well-being, often ignoring the health, financial, and emotional impact on those who provide unpaid informal care and support - family and friends. Through the reading of memoirs, students with an interest in aging, health care, and the therapeutic professions will grapple with the profound impact that caregiving during illness has on carers and relationships across the spectrum - from young carers, to intimate partners, to adult children caring for aging parents, and beyond. Discussions will be grounded in the social, legal, and policy contexts.
