A Caregiver’s Transferable Skills [Video]

This episode’s guest is Katrina Prescott. Katrina is both a caregiver and a producer. 

As a caregiver she has been able to utilize her producer-skills to be a strong advocate for her mom who had dementia. Her mom passed away in 2022, but Katrina continues to be a caregiver and advocate for other caregivers, sharing her knowledge and insights through many projects. 

Katrina was introduced to caregiving at a young age, and supported her mom who was the primary caregiver for her grandma, and then was herself the primary caregiver for her own mom for 7 years when she received the diagnosis of dementia. 

Katrina’s lived experience motivates her to inspire change – which she does by participating in different advisory groups and research projects for caregiving and dementia. Katrina is an active voice for creating adequate and effective care for those who depend on it and for finding innovative ways to bring resources to caregivers, such as through the web series she produces called “Therapeutic Fibbing” (https://storiesforcaregivers.com/series/therapeutic-fibbing/) . Katrina shares a passion for helping caregivers in so many ways including as a caregiving consultant. Visit her website (https://www.katrinaprescott.com/) for more information.
