Family caregivers are asked to do things most of us never expect to learn. Changing a port. Managing complicated medication schedules. Caring for a feeding tube. Performing wound care. Operating medical equipment at home.
For many caregivers, the difference between feeling overwhelmed and feeling confident comes down to one thing: training.
We're collecting stories from family caregivers who received health or care professional training to provide specific medical care for a family member, and what that training meant to them.
Maybe a nurse showed you how to do wound care before a hospital discharge. Maybe a home health aide walked you through medication management. Maybe you learned tracheostomy care, tube feeding, or safe lifting and transfers through a video, a hands-on demonstration, or written instructions.
However you learned, we want to know:
🔵 What training did you receive, and who provided it?
🔵 How did it affect your confidence or reduce your stress?
🔵 What difference did it make for you and your family?
Your story matters. It can help show why caregiver training is essential and build support for expanding access to these services for families who need them most.
