🚨 Help for caregivers on 11/4! 👇👇👇
If you've ever looked after an older or disabled loved one, or even an adult child with special needs, you know how difficult it can be to "keep all the balls in the air," including doctors' appointments, daily tasks like dressing, feeding, and bathing, and managing finances.
Worse, as a caregiver you may feel like your own physical or mental health is starting to suffer, or you may worry that you are not doing enough to meet your loved one's needs.

In some cases, finances can even become an issue if the caregiver has been forced to leave their job to look after a sick loved one, or if the caregiver is dipping into their own savings to cover their loved one's out-of-pocket expenses.

While all of these situations can feel overwhelming, the good news is that there are often resources and planning strategies that can help ease many of the burdens that caregivers face!

We are holding a Caregiver Symposium on 11/4 to help you discover every option that's available to you, this year specifically focusing on high-tech solutions that have presented themselves following COVID-19.

If you haven't registered already, just go to https://www.drazenlaw.com/caregiversymposium/ to RSVP! (CE Credits Available for Social Workers and healthcare workers)

It's virtual from 9 am to 4 pm... you can attend right from the comfort of your home!

View the entire agenda at https://www.drazenlaw.com/caregiversymposium/. Make sure to also share this invitation with any of your friends or loved ones who could benefit from the information shared during the symposium.

See you on 11/4!

"Disability can be difficult to talk about sensitively because of how embedded ableism is in our language, biases and perceptions of disability."

We just saw two recent examples of this in popular music with Beyonce and Lizzo both opting to change offensive lyrics in their songs.

When it comes to disability, a lot of ableist language and tropes are perpetuated by the media. Here's what experts have to say about how to talk about disability.

Traveling comes with a whole host of challenges, and traveling in a wheelchair takes that to a whole new level.

"Among the risks are personal injury, the loss of expensive equipment and a lack of accessible bathrooms and of federally mandated services."

To better understand the obstacles faced by wheelchair users, The Times sent a reporter and a photographer to document one man’s plane trip. Here’s what they saw.
