Caring for Everyone Except Yourself: Preventative Health Across Generations
PRESENTED IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH
This panel explores how caregiving, culture, and generational expectations shape women’s health, with a focus on mothers and caregivers who often prioritize others over themselves.
Panelists will unpack the mental load of caregiving and how stress, anxiety, and burnout can quietly surface across different life stages.
The conversation will also examine cultural barriers to preventive care, mental health stigma, and the role of nutrition, while highlighting culturally responsive resources and community-driven solutions that support whole-family wellness.
