Project Description
Equity in Aging Advisory Committee hears from REAL caregivers. This event is a testament to the power of our collective voices.
California Department of Aging
I am honored and humbled to have had the opportunity to join the California Department of Aging and the Equity in Aging Advisory Committee. My role was as a presenter to share YOUR real experiences as family caregivers.
Keeping It REAL Caregiving, and creator Julia Yarbough has been a member of the committee for some time, but this was the first chance to actively take part in contributing REAL information from REAL caregivers and to share some of the challenges we face.

Make an impact
Thank you to those of you who were willing to share a brief synopsis of some of your biggest challenges as a caregiver. My presentation was five minutes but was PACKED with powerful and REAL feedback from REAL caregivers.
Pride in our work
In less than one year, Keeping It REAL Caregiving has been able to take an idea and passion, turn it into a movement and harness YOUR voices and concerns to deliver that directly to those in positions of influence. That is powerful!
