She has published several articles and co-edited a book on professional interventions with caregivers.\n\nMs. Orzeck will give an example lecture tailored to a typical BSW class (SWRK 224 - Human Develop ment across the Lifespan). She will be speaking about Family Caregiving as a Life Course Process.\n\nFamily caregiving is a topic that cuts across a ll life stages and social loca-tions. From a practice and policy standpoin t\, we do not often acknowledge caregivers’ contributions within families. Social workers are best placed to recognize and respond to family caregiv ers across systems and services. In order to better intervene with caregiv ers\, we need to understand family caregiving as part of the life course. This will allow for an appreciation of the lived experiences of caregivers along their care trajectory. Moreover\, it will move us beyond the curren t model of caregiving\, where caregiving is seen as a role\, rather than a s a process. This teaching exercise will engage students in a discussion a bout family caregiving and introduce innovative practice tools to work wit h family caregivers.\n DTSTART:20160922T133000Z DTEND:20160922T143000Z LOCATION:Room 326\, Wilson Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2A7\, 3506 rue University SUMMARY:Family Caregiving as a Life Course Process URL:/socialwork/channels/event/family-caregiving-life- course-process-262915 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
