May is National Caregivers Month in Canada and I am busy reading the US National Caregiving Strategy. Cormac Russell did you know they recommend Asset Based Community Development? Pg 59 Outcome 3.4: Family caregivers and families have safe places to live, nutritious food, and adequate transportation. All people should have access to adequate and safe housing, proper nutrition, and access to medical appointments and other transportation-related necessities. Without access to these fundamental requirements of daily living, family caregivers will face daily struggles. As a public health issue, effective family caregiver support efforts must include a focus on the five domains of the social determinants of health: ■ Economic stability and security (including freedom from workplace discrimination) ■ Education access and quality ■ Health care access and quality ■ Neighborhood and built environment ■ Social and community context. To increase the effectiveness of high-quality, setting-appropriate, caregiver-defined services, numerous stakeholders can explore innovative ways to implement programs that support safe, accessible, and intergenerational housing, nutrition, transportation, elder wellness, and quality of life. For example, Asset Based Community Development is a growing movement that assesses the resources, skills, and experience available in a local community and uses them as the foundation of sustainable community development. https://lnkd.in/g2zetFH7 Healthy Aging Alberta International Foundation for Integrated Care (IFIC)

3 Reasons a gentle nanny having their own community & support network is important: 1. Professional Growth & Development: Being part of a community allows nannies to share experiences, insights, & knowledge with others in similar roles. They can learn new caregiving techniques, discover educational resources, & stay updated on best practices, all of which contribute to their professional growth & development. 2. Peer Support & Advice: Nannies often face unique challenges & situations in their work. Having a community provides a platform to seek advice, share concerns, & receive support from peers who understand their profession's intricacies. It's an opportunity to exchange stories, seek guidance, & learn from each other. 3. Reducing Isolation & Loneliness: Working as a nanny can sometimes be isolating, especially if the job involves working alone in a private household. Having a community provides a sense of belonging & helps combat feelings of isolation & loneliness. Nannies can connect, socialize, & establish meaningful relationships with others in their field. Being a part of a community allows gentle nannies to grow professionally, seek support, reduce isolation, enhance emotional well-being, expand their knowledge, & advocate for their profession.
