Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers reposted this
A highlight of the 2025 National Lifespan Respite Conference hosted by the ARCH National Respite Network and Resource Center and Alabama Lifespan Respite was showcasing excerpts from the PBS documentary, Caregiving, that will air on PBS stations across the country on June 24. Following the screening, we were excited to hear from Josh Carter, grandson of President Jimmy Carter and Rosalynn Carter and spokesman for the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers; Lynnette Canedy, PMP, family caregiver and 2023 Elizabeth Dole Fellow; Tom Chiodo, Executive Producer of Caregiving & Special Projects, National Productions, WETA/PBS; and Chris Durrance, Director & Senior Producer of Caregiving, Ark Media in a panel moderated by Marcus Escobedo, Vice President, Communications and Senior Program Officer, The John A. Hartford Foundation. Thank you for a very personal and moving discussion about the nature of caregiving across the lifespan and the need to raise the national consciousness about family caregiver needs. #LaunchRespite2025 #LifespanRespite #caregiving #respitecare

3dIt was an honor to be with the ARCH National Respite Network and Resource Center and the amazing staff from AAAs, SUAs, and CBOs from across the country who are all dedicated to supporting #FamilyCaregivers across the lifespan. And what a fun panel discussing the amazing WETA film “Caregiving” coming this summer! We can all share our caregiving stories to build more support for the vital respite and support programs.
