- Just because you’re exhausted mentally, emotionally, and physically doesn’t mean the caregiving stops. When the bills arrive, you may have to give even more to get the right kind of care for those you love. This is why caregivers need a #caresquad, a community to lean on, and systems that help access and afford the care that our families need. In Episode 3 of #ManEnough to Care presented in partnership with Caring Across Generations, Justin Baldoni is joined by Devon Still, Zach Anner, Nathan Kress, and Robert Espinoza to discuss how caregiving plays into their lives and their masculinity. #CareWithME

About Caring Across Generations:
Since 2011, Caring Across Generations has been building a movement of all ages and backgrounds to transform the way we care. As the leading intersectional nonprofit and campaign in the space, Caring Across Generations works to transform our culture of care by getting people to recognize and value care - and the emotional, financial and personal sacrifices that come with it - as a collective responsibility. Caring Across Generations develops innovative policies starting at the state level to make quality care more accessible and these policies then fuel campaigns where field partners educate communities, organize activists and pressure elected officials. We elevate stories of caregivers and we shift the culture to value care and embrace aging so the policies we fight for can take root and we reach our ultimate goal: a world where everyone can age with dignity, and caregivers are respected and supported. - Розваги
I loved how Devon said "a lot of people are losing everything in order to try save their everything", that sacrifice is not appreciated enough. I love the passion, the empathy and unique perspectives at this table.
I am so glad that I live in Germany. We have a good health system and everyone has to have insurance, which fortunately pays for most things. Sure we do have to pay for some stuff that insurances don't think are necessary but it is so much better than in the US.
I am also very grateful that we get paid time off to take care of our families through sickness, after birth, etc.
Great stuff guys. Keep the transparency coming. 🙌🏾

Do you guys have a discord server? Subreddit or tiktok? These are popular ways of interaction and connection.
They should make a podcast for discord
Such a good conversation! As a woman with endometriosis who is also single, I think one piece that gets left out of this conversation is how do people with chronic illnesses support themselves when they don’t have great support systems or the financial means to just quit a job. So many aspects to this subject. Definitely requires a collective solution!
This is such an important discussion. Robert Espinoza thank you for your lifetime of work within this field. I am a primary caregiver for my mom. My husband shares that responsibility with his brother and sisters for his parents. We began in earnest (being in our mid 50's) planning for our future caregiving needs because we don't have kids and we don't want to 'burden' others. This planning should not entirely be up to individual families, it should be a part of a collective solution at the community, state and federal level.
Another good video. As a viewer who is seeing most, if not all of these people for the first time have a serious discussion, some questions arise in my mind:
1. The comedian already discussed, how he sees his future panning out and his future as a caregiver. However, how did he manage his psychology of being someone who has been taken care of for a long time now, since he'll eventually need to completely transition into a caregiver? This is, in a way, an extension of the question that the host posed initially.
2. The actor, whose wife has a serious medical condition, how does he tackle the problem of perception? I intend to cover a situation where people disbelieve his motives because he might not seem genuine, through subjective optics, even though he might just be. It's one thing to look the part of a caretaker, and another to be one and still not look like one. I understand there isn't a template for caretakers to look and sound like, but unfortunately, there are still people out there who resolve to take this approach in understanding others
3. The sports athlete, how does he balance being this icon of strength, athleticism, with being someone who is immensely emotional and distraught given the condition of his daughter, in a world where the actions of a few athletes have established an image; of people who are privileged, uncaring, and unstable with their human relationships.
This series is so important and so well done. I'm a rare disease caregiver. Thank you.
Scary thinking......most kids don't think about it. Sometimes until it's too late
