Becoming a caregiver is increasingly an inevitable experience for
many people and, therefore, a likely life transition. Drawing on
research and personal experiences of working with family
caregivers, this book examines a range of family caregiving
situations from across the life course. It seeks to capture the
dynamics of caregiving in a number of common situations: caregiving
during infancy, for adults who acquire a disability through
accidents or illness, for older people with age-related issues, and
caregiving by children and adolescent carers and grandparent
carers. In drawing attention to key moments of vulnerability faced
by family and informal caregivers, and by suggesting how to assist
'reconnection' at these moments, the book provides a guide for
those working in the area of health, disability and care. Informal
care is conceptualised as occurring with the context of personal
interrelationships, these being nested within wider kin networks
and linked with wider professional formal care networks. Informal
care is seen both as an expression of social capital and as an
activity that builds social capital. It is an indicator of
resources of mutual support within social networks, and it has the
effect of adding to the stock of social resources. The book makes a
case, therefore, for facilitating the development of social capital
by strengthening the capacity of informal caregivers and caregiver
groups, and by improving the linkages with formal care
organisations.
