She has led patient and caregiver groups covering various topics, including grief and loss, adjusting and implementing self-care plans, adopting effective coping skills, and helping manage stressors with a chronic progressive disease. Carol has also facilitated podcasts on stress management, promoting and supporting wellness, problems with ableism in our culture, and breaking the taboo of disability. She received a bachelor of science degree in psychology at UC Davis and a master's degree in social work at UCLA. In this episode, Carol slows us down, guides us through understanding our current state of well-being, helps us discover ways to create a care plan that suits our individual preferences, and offers strategies to allow our families to process emotions.
