Men in Caregiving: Join Us in Honoring Their Strength and Courage to Care!

Direct care is not and should not be “gender specific”.  Direct care is hard work and noble work…whether you are a man or a woman.  Men in caregiving often deal with their own unique issues or challenges.  Things like:

  • Work that is stigmatized as undervalued women’s work…suggesting that women’s work is easy work and we know that’s not true!!! 
  • Residents or clients refusing a male caregiver.
