“Who cares for the caregiver? – informal caregivers and vulnerability” (#Juniors2Seniors with Maria Inês Costa, Clara Costa Oliveira and Laura Brito)

This edition of ‘#Juniors2Seniors’ features Maria Inês Costa (Master in Human Rights from UMinho). This young researcher presented a master’s thesis on informal carers, which was (exceptionally) awarded a grade of 19, and is committed to studying the ‘care dyad’ – that is, the relationship between the carer and the dependent person – as well as the various issues associated with it, such as dignified ageing, mental health, social sustainability, digital exclusion, etc. Maria Inês Costa is joined by Clara Costa Oliveira (philosopher, Professor at UMinho, carer trainer) and Laura Brito (psychologist, PhD student at UMinho, carer trainer).
