Have you read the Caregiver's Bill of Rights? I HAVE THE RIGHT: - To take care of myself. This is not an act of selfishness. It will give me the capacity of taking better care of my relatives. - To seek help from others even though my relative may object. I recognize the limits of my own endurance and strength.... - To maintain areas of my own life that does not include the person I care for, just as I would if he or she were healthy. I know that I do everything that I reasonably can do for this person, and I have the right to do some things for myself. - To get angry, be depressed, and express other difficult feelings occasionally. - To reject any attempt by my relative (either conscious or unconscious) to manipulate me through guilt, anger or depression. - To receive consideration, affection, forgiveness, and acceptance for what I do from my loved one for as long as I offer these qualities in return. - To take pride in what I am accomplishing and to applaud the courage it has sometimes taken me to meet the needs of my relative. - To protect my individuality and my right to make a life for myself that will sustain me in the time when my relative no longer needs my full time help. - To expect and demand that as new strides are made in finding resources to aid physically and mentally impaired older persons in our country, similar strides will be made toward aiding and supporting caregivers.

Although the Pink Shirt Day campaign started in a school and was directed toward teaching children to stand up to bullying, we know bullying occurs across age g...roups and different situations. Many will experience bullying as older adults, often in the form of ageism, which is the most tolerated form of social prejudice. According to the World Health Organization, Ageism is the stereotyping and discrimination against individuals or groups based on their age. Ageism can take many forms, including prejudicial attitudes, discriminatory practices, or institutional policies and practices that perpetuate stereotypical beliefs. This Pink Shirt Day, the focus is working together and treating others with dignity and respect. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected us all and shown the importance of helping one another and advocating for those who need it. Help us lift each other up and support programs that encourage healthy self-esteem and teach empathy, compassion and kindness.
