#APAAM26: "Caregivers struggle with guilt, resentment, anticipatory grief, depression, isolation, and many more. There is no section in Hallmark round grief for caregivers, so we need to allow them the space to process that range of emotions." - Christina Irving, MSW, of @CaregiverAlly.

In medical school, Jacquelyn Chang, M.D., wished she had a space to discuss issues affecting Asian Americans — so she created one. She received the Foundation's 2026 Kun-Po Soo Award for her role as co-founder of @ncpsinfo Committee on Asian American Issues, which she has chaired since 1999. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Chang ⭐

On the blog: "The reality is that many clinicians have care needs of their own—needs that are too often suppressed out of justified fear that seeking support could lead to retaliation or the loss of their job."
