Caring for the Caregiver (February 2019)

Caring for a child with a complex condition such as Duchenne or Becker muscular dystrophy can be a tremendous burden on caregivers, especially if those caregivers are family members. Not only is there an emotional strain on the caregiver, but the related stress can cause physical, social, and even financial burdens. In this webinar, PPMD welcomed Dr. Kendra J. Bjoraker to begin a discussion about the effects of caregiving and provide suggestions to improve caregiver quality of life. Sarepta Therapeutics has sponsored this webinar. The content presented is the independent work of Dr. Bjoraker. The links and phone numbers in this webinar are accurate as of February 2019.
