Insightful reflection on using the #arts as #respite in #caregiving. www.caregiversupportservices.com/the-art-of-l...

The same argument could be made for #caregiving generally. Without support, people are saying no to having children and going bankrupt caring for aging parents. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/w...
