January is National Mentoring Month: Caregiving Takes a Village, and Sometimes a Mentor

Eileen Parry, a retired teacher and caregiver for her husband, Jon, found hope and resilience through Duet’s mentor/mentee program. Her mentor, Scott Drysdale, offers invaluable support: “He’s walking my walk. He’s been there, done that, and understands my experience.” Together, they navigate the challenges of Parkinson’s caregiving, turning shared struggles into strength. Duet’s services empower caregivers like Eileen with tools, community, and mentorship to thrive, even in tough times.
