Video Topic: The Evolution of Caregiving Through the Lens of a Non-Parent Caregiver
Jamie Dannenberg aka CJ, of thirdwheelED, is a registered dietitian and caregiver to her partner, Jamie Bushell aka OJ (pronouns they/them). CJ was ironically finishing her last year of graduate school to become a registered dietitian when OJ was first hospitalized for their eating disorder and co-occurring mental illnesses. CJ’s background, both personally and professionally, offers a highly valuable and unique insight into what it is like to navigate through our seemingly broken mental health system to get the care that a loved one needs. She understands the unique challenges that non-parent caregivers and marginalized communities, like queer folx, face while helping a loved one recover from an eating disorder.
