Leukemia Caregiver Guide: Support for Working Family Caregivers
Leukemia Caregiver Guide: Support for Working Family Caregivers
Caring for a loved one with leukemia while maintaining your career is one of the most challenging roles you may ever face. This guide was created specifically for you—the working family caregiver who is navigating the complex demands of supporting someone through leukemia treatment while also managing job responsibilities, financial pressures, and your own well-being.
Whether you’re caring for a parent, spouse, child, sibling, or other loved one, you are not alone. Millions of family caregivers across the country are balancing these same demands, and many face additional challenges related to language barriers, financial strain, or limited access to culturally sensitive care.
This course will help you understand your critical role in leukemia care, recognize the unique challenges you face as a working caregiver, and connect you with practical strategies and resources to support both your loved one and yourself.
You’ll hear from other caregivers who have walked this path, learn how to communicate effectively with healthcare teams and employers, and discover tools to protect your own mental and emotional health.
Remember: taking care of yourself is not selfish—it’s essential. By learning to navigate this journey with knowledge, support, and self-compassion, you’ll be better equipped to provide the care your loved one needs while preserving your own health and livelihood.
