Well Beyond Medicine: The Nemours Children’s Health Podcast
Health & Fitness:Medicine
According to a study commissioned by The Elizabeth Dole Foundation, there are 2.5 million children, teens, and young adults in the U.S. taking on significant responsibilities for wounded, ill, or aging veterans within their own families. These "hidden helpers" are supporting their wounded parent, grandparent, sibling or other family member with activities of daily living (dressing, bathing, toileting, etc.), administering medications, assisting with physical therapy, caring for siblings, managing finances, and even navigating the healthcare system. They grow up fast by necessity, often facing unique challenges to their own health and wellness journeys as they help their wounded warrior.
In this episode, we share stories of two wounded warriors, and how they shaped a curriculum developed by Nemours Children’s Health. These free, publicly available online courses are helping educate healthcare providers, and the wider public, about the unique health issues these children face.
Guests:
Kylie Briest, NICU Nurse and Hidden Helper
Megan Powell, Military Spouse, and Hidden Helper
Allison Gertel-Rosenberg, MS, Vice President, Chief Policy and Prevention Officer, Nemours Children's Health
Take the FREE online course "Caring for Children and Teens in Military Families."
Host/Producer: Carol Vassar
