New SLN Podcast out today! SLN PODCAST #9 Long Distance Sibling Caregiving
“Long Distance doesn’t have to be guilt-ridden or a longing for one another” -Pat Carver
This month we discuss what long distance caregiving looks like with sibling advocates. We are joined by former SLN Board President, Pat Carver, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee Co-Chair, Atikah Bagawan, and Peter Edmonson. We discuss challenges unique to caregiving for our siblings with disabilities from a distance and the siblings share advice for any other sibs struggling to find a way to make their long distance caregiving work.
“I think one of the benefits is that time and space can really be good in any relationship” -Pat Carver
