Caregivers, need help? - A Documentary UNSEEN

Posted by Becky, Volunteer Mentor @becsbuddy, Jul 18 7:23pm

On July 17, quite by accident, I watched a TV show called “UNSEEN, How we are failing Parent Caregivers and Why It Matters.”

Everything I heard was what I have read in this support group. The show featured a family with an autistic son, who were desperate for help, but none was available. The program states, “ Children or adults with disabilities or complex medical needs deal with barriers and challenges, including isolation and adverse health and financial outcomes.”

It is a PBS production and was combined with a show about adults caring for adult family members, especially those with dementia. Where to find the show

The show was excellent and I hope you can find it on your TV or computer!
What is your opinion of this show?

Let’s just hope it will continue to be shown on PBS after the recent removal of funding.

It's a lot cheaper to rebroadcast an existing program than produce a new one, so I'll bet they will.
