In this episode of Who Cares, we'll look at the opportunity that COVID-19 provided to change the caregiving landscape, and how we didn't take advantage of it. We'll also take you on a journey into the experience of Jennifer Johannessen, who, after what should have been a routine pregnancy check-up, never returned to work. When you're obligated to leave the workforce to care for someone full-time, it leaves a black hole in your ability to provide for yourself financially. Let's change that.
This episode features insight from writer and caregiving advocate, Jennifer Johannessen, former senior economic advisor to the Prime Minister, Tyler Meredith, CCCE Executive Director, Liv Mendelsohn, CCCE Director of Policy & Government Relations, James Janeiro, health journalist, Andre Picard & Care Provider & Union Rep. Juanita Forde.
