It's a Code You: Mental Health Support for Those Working in Healthcare was created by Dartmouth Health employees for the healthcare community. Whether you work as an executive, in facilities management, in dietary services or a nurse in the ICU this podcast is for you. It's a Code You! will cover topics related to mental health, relationships, parenting and topics that impact your daily lives. You can expect support, resources and pertinent information shared by mental health professionals. Our podcast is meant to be consumed by those who are busy and need information efficiently so you can expect our episodes will be 30 minutes or less.
In this podcast, we strive to always use inclusive and respectful language. However, we recognize that everyone experiences the world through their own unique lens. Words, phrases, and topics that seem benign to some may carry unintended connotations or evoke discomfort for others based on their life experiences and perspectives. Please know that in exploring sensitive or controversial issues, our intent is never to diminish anyone's experiences, invalidate their viewpoint, or make light of their struggles.
Some of the topics we cover may by their very nature cause discomfort for some listeners. We believe leaning into that discomfort is often necessary for growth and expanding our understanding. Our aim is to create a space for respectful dialogue and the open exchange of ideas, even when those conversations may be challenging. We encourage you to engage thoughtfully with the material, considering perspectives that may differ from your own.
If you ever feel we have fallen short of these intentions, please let us know. Listener feedback is extremely valuable as we strive to foster nuanced, constructive conversations. We are committed to continuously improving and value your input.
We're so excited to be sharing this with all of you.
In this episode of It's a Code You!, we're going to be talking about how to get through the holidays when you're working in healthcare. The holidays themselves can be a stressful time. There are financial stressors, requests for time commitments that can cause you to feel spread thin and just the over all expectations that you may feel from family and friends. When you factor in things like having to work holidays or there being less of a workforce due to time off, the holidays can feel anything but festive. So we'll talk about what are some of the things that might make working in healthcare more stressful during the holidays. And then we will talk about some ways that you can try to find some balance and joy amidst the chaos. Above all, we want to validate those feelings of overwhelm and stress.

Dementia and Caregiving
November is National Family Caregivers Month. So for today's episode we are going to talk about being a caregiver for a loved one with dementia. Being a caregiver is so complicated, there can be so many layers to it. Not only do you step into a role of caretaking for, usually an older adult, but you've likely had roles with this person aside from being a caretaker like daughter, son, sibling, grandchild. Relationships also have their own story, both good and bad, prior to stepping into a role as a caregiver, which can make it more complicated. And maybe you have a family you're also caring for, a full-time job, and just other responsibilities. So we're very excited to have our guest here today to help us dive into some of the issues that surround those who are caregivers for loved ones with dementia. Our guest, Meredith Kolodze Meredith Kolodze, DSW, LICSW, is a dedicated Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in the field. Meredith has devoted her career to making a positive impact on the lives of older adults. As a Program Manager at NAMI NH, she specializes in providing essential training, education, and support to older adults and their families, focusing on mental health awareness and care.
