Defining Family Caregiving Roles

Highlights:
Family members talk about their roles within their caregiving families as caregivers and care-receivers, and how they navigate these roles with other members of their family. (4:30)

Questions for Discussion:

• Compare and contrast the family caregiving in the videos. How do these roles differ depending on theperson diagnosed with mental illness (e.g., mother, sister, spouse), their identity (e.g., age, gender), and their own responsibilities?
• What roles other than caregiver/care-receiver do interviewees occupy, both inside and outside of their caregiving families? How might this influence their caregiving responsibilities?
