The Social Media Effect (Part 2): Caregiver Judgment and Its Impact

When caregiving enters the world of social media, support can quickly turn into scrutiny. In part two of this series on social media’s impact on dementia caregiving, host Dawn Platt explores the uncomfortable reality of judgment within the caregiving community – why it happens, how online platforms amplify it, and the emotional toll it takes on families already under pressure. From bold opinions to quiet guilt, Dawn unpacks what’s really behind these interactions and offers a powerful reminder: there is no single “right” way to care. If you’ve ever felt judged – or caught yourself judging – this episode will challenge your perspective and help you protect your peace while navigating one of life’s most complex journeys.
