114. Support for Caregivers: Interview with Bill Cohen
We heard a lot about the importance of self-care, but what I've noticed in my coaching world is that caregivers are great at providing care and kindness to others, but they often underestimate how much they also need support for themselves as well. They bear the fatigue and stress until they reach the point where they are burnt out or feeling overwhelmed. That's why when I met Bill Cohen, I immediately know we need to do this podcast, so that people who are caregivers, especially those who care for family members who have dementia, can get the information that they need to better manage their care and understand there is support available for them too!
Bill Cohen is the founder of Cohen Caregiving Support Consultants LLC. He is a certified senior advisor based in Oregon but he also provides support and other resources online.

Hi everyone. Today, I have a special guest. So you know many of you realized I've mostly interviewed women on my show, but today I have a very special guest. I met Bill (William) Cohen at an E-Women Network event, actually. He would tell you why that happens, why would meet there? But I was really taken by Bill's words and friendliness, and he was really willing to share his knowledge. And I think it's going to be a great interview. So a little short introduction because I think I'm going to let Bill to tell you the story, right? So, he's the founder of Cohen Caregiving Support Consultants. He is a certified senior advisor based in Oregon, but obviously nowadays, you know, most businesses provide support online. But I think today we are going to pick his brain literally, and also have a conversation about, I think the field of carers and support, because I think this is something we overlooked quite a lot. So welcome to my show Bill.
Bill (01:07):
Thank you. And good morning to you. Good afternoon here in the states, at least on the Pacific coast, and I'm excited, very honoured to be here as one of your rare male guest.
