The Caregiver Crisis with Anna Pawlowicz

In this episode of *Parents Who Think*, host Danusia Malina-Derben interviews Anna Pawlowicz, CEO of Humankind, about the often invisible role of caregivers in society. Anna opens up about the challenges faced by those who provide care, whether for children, elderly family members, or those with medical complexities, and why caregivers remain undervalued and unsupported.

 

They explore the heavy toll caregiving takes on mental health, work, and personal relationships, and question why governments and workplaces aren't doing more, despite the fact that caregiving touches us all at some point in our lives.

 

With insights from both personal experience and a broader societal lens, this episode asks us to rethink how we value care and what needs to change to better support caregivers. It's a conversation that goes beyond caregiving—it's about the systems that shape all of our lives.

 

Tune in for an essential discussion on why care matters to everyone.
