    Introducing Cared For: "There's no perfect caregiver."

    More than one in five Americans are family caregivers. And this work, even under the most supportive conditions, can be really intense. This week, Kelli's offering strategies for family caregiving, in community. Because wherever you're at—in a waiting room, on hold with the insurance company, or making another pot of coffee after another night of lost sleep—you don't have to tackle this responsibility alone. Cared For is executive produced and hosted by Kelli Dunham. It’s executive produced by Erica Getto and Myrriah Gossett for Good Get, in collaboration with PRX. For more resources, and to join the conversation, head to kellidunham.substack.com or @caredforpodcast on Instagram. Need to set up your Slate Plus feed?
