Show Notes
In this episode of the Goddesses of Social Work Podcast, I sit down with Cheryl Craig, Long-Term Care Ombudsman at the Central Alabama Aging Consortium (CAAC).
Together we explore: 🌿 Cheryl’s journey into advocacy and how she became an Ombudsman 🌿 What an Ombudsman does — and why this role is so vital for elders and their families 🌿 The realities of navigating complex systems in long-term care 🌿 A story that reminded Cheryl why this work matters, even when it’s hard 🌿 Her hopes for those attending the Remember Me documentary screening and community gathering on November 1st
Cheryl’s reflections remind us that advocacy is not just policy or paperwork — it’s giving voice to those who may otherwise go unheard, and standing beside elders with dignity and compassion.
