An episode filled with insights and resources. You'll want to pay close attention if you are a caregiver for a veteran, or if you are a veteran yourself.
Zander Keig is an award-winning speaker, educator, author, and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with many distinguishing accolades including: 2020 NASW National Social Worker of the Year. Zander is a first-generation American of Mexican heritage (Latino), and a post-transition transsexual man. Zander is a Coast Guard Veteran and the primary caregiver of his elderly Veteran father who is diagnosed with Dementia. Zander fills this episode with his own experiences that offer take-aways for all of us. He is applying the teachings of the DAWN method from an earlier episode and seeing first-hand the positives this strengths-based approach provides.
As a retired social worker I was excited to ask Zander about being the 2020 NASW Social worker of the year - and as he shares his experiences and resources it was not surprising he received many nominations from his peers.
