Stephanie Stephens, guest contributor to Caring.com


Stephanie Stephens has a Masters degree in journalism but had no degree in caregiving -- desperately needed when her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. It was devastating, draining, and in spite of trying to do "the right things," I didn't know how,she says. It's why we need Caring.com.

In her career, Stephanie is a multimedia health and lifestyle content specialist whose work has appeared in several hundred publications including TIME, Ladies Home Journal, Family Circle, The Boston Globe, Newsday, MSNBC.com, Neurology Now, Heart Insight and the Health Behavior News Service. She also writes, produces and hosts a national channel for baby boomer women, http://mindyourbody.tv/, also seen on YouTube and syndicated by AOL/ON.
