Male Caregiving … Caring As a Man
Kim Hegwood | February 18, 2025
When talking of caregivers we often think of women. While many times the caregiving duties fall on the shoulders of a woman there are also many men who have stepped up to the plate. They care for spouses, parents, and others they love. Today Kim Hegwood has a conversation with a male caregiver, Eddie Orum about this topic.
Male Caregiving … Caring Like a Man
Talking Points:
1. How many males are currently caregivers in the US?
2. When did you become a caregiver?
3. What do you find that is different for men as caregivers?
4. What additional research is needed to support male caregivers?
5. Is there a need for a male-only support group?
