EP 103 :: Men Step Up as Caregivers :: Stephen Peck
Bobbi and Mike talk with Stephen Peck, founder of Caring Men Global, about how men can step into their roles as caregivers when the need arises. Once a caregiver for his wife who passed away from cancer, Steve now works to relieve the stress of men who are shouldering intense caregiving responsibilities towards their loved ones. Steve brings resources together so that caregivers can easily access information and caregiver support, allowing them to focus more time and energy on the care of their loved one.
Breaking down the walls of traditional roles, Steve gives men the tools needed to transition into and persevere as a caregiver. Steve cultivates empathy and compassion to help those who are directly or indirectly trying to fight their way out of the challenges of a difficult diagnosis. Bobbi and Mike’s discussion with Steve reveals how important it is for caregivers to be comfortable in their roles and that courage, empathy and powerful advocacy are skills that can be harnessed and developed through the caregiver experience.
