Employment Protection for Caregivers

Dementia Care on Air

Jul 17 2023 • 33 mins

Join Dementia Care Aware for a discussion on Paid Family Leave (PFL) and how opportunities can be increased for family caregivers to access PFL in California. Our guest speakers, Sharon Terman, Director of the Work and Family Program, and Katherine Wutchiett, Senior Staff Attorney at Legal Aid at Work, will shed light on the challenges faced by caregivers, who often feel compelled to quit their jobs when the person they support is diagnosed with a serious illness like dementia and they often don’t know that PFL is available to them. Learn how to empower caregivers to make use of this benefit to protect their income and employment.

Refer people to the Work and Family Helpline, 800-880-8047, or email workandfamily@legalaidatwork.org.
