Reducing caregiver stress with Jennifer FitzPatrick, MSW, and CEO Robb Munger on the positive impact of Exodus Place(12-04-22)

On this week's program… In our first segment, host Phil Tower speaks with Jennifer FitzPatrick, MSW, LCSW-C, CSP. Jennifer is the founder of Jenerations Health Education, Inc., a full-service healthcare education organization. Jennifer is also the author of the best-selling book "Cruising Through Caregiving: Reducing The Stress of Caring For Your Loved One.” Jennifer tells us that while caring for an older family member can be one of the most rewarding experiences of a lifetime, it can also become stressful at times. The responsibility of caregiving for another with psychological or physical health challenges can be both a labor of love and a drain on resources.

In part two of this week's program, Phil welcomes Robb Munger, President, and CEO of Exodus Place. Robb shares the amazing backstory of how Exodus place was started, and the “God moment” that made it all happen. Rob shares with us that the ultimate goal of Exodus Place is to get men back out into the workforce and on their own. As Robb puts it, the team at Exodus Place is there to “offer a hand up, not a handout.”
