Barb and Jim were doing everything they could to care for their autistic son Harrison but as he got older the level of care required by Harrison became increasingly difficult to manage. Coupled with their concern about what would happen to Harrison after they died, they began to plan for his future. After a long wait they “hit the jackpot” when Harrison was placed in a group home. Relieved as they were, they initially struggled with feelings of guilt over transferring their son’s care. However, they finally had the support they needed, and they quickly conceded that the move was what was best for them and Harrison.

After Caregiving is a documentary style web series in which former caregivers are asked to recount their experience in the weeks, months and years after their caregiving responsibilities end.
