The heart of We Are Brave Together, an international community of caregiving moms, is to strengthen, encourage, educate and inspire all moms of children with disabilities through their unique and difficult caregiving journeys. To be a caregiving mom is to be a mother who cares for a child or adult child with any type of challenge: medical, mental, behavioral, genetic, developmental, psychiatric, learning, cognitive, or physical. The We Are Brave Together community is woven with one common thread: we are here to support and strengthen one another, and increase our mental health amidst chronic hardship. We offer support groups, (virtual and in-person), retreats, retreat scholarships, and, our Brave Together Podcast, which is a library of inspiration, stories, and resources.

“Solutions in Reach” Discussion Series

We are presenting a series of webinars and panels discussing resources that present possible solutions to some of the challenges explored in the film. Recordings are available below. Additional bonus content can be found here.

Supporting Caregivers as a Competitive Advantage for Employers

When employees have significant caregiving responsibilities, particularly those caring for a loved one with special needs, their work lives can suffer. This can show up as presenteeism, lack of productivity and sometimes simply needing to leave their job altogether. These caregivers need help, which includes supportive benefit offerings from their employers. Beyond improving the well-being of these caregivers and ensuring they feel seen, what’s the business case for helping them? Furthermore, how can employers use offering caregiver support as a competitive advantage?

Join Unseen and Cariloop’s Care Coach Melinda Stroda for a conversation on how this support can boost productivity and engagement as well as be a differentiator for your company.
