Episode 10 - Unseen: Jess Ronne and a New Documentary about Extreme Caregiving

Jess Ronne, mother of 8, including a teen son with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders, is the main protagonist of a new documentary film, Unseen: How We're Failing Parent Caregivers. Jill Escher talks with her about the genesis of the film, its goals and reaching new audiences with her important message. Highlights:

• As the title suggests, these stories of extreme caregiving tend to be hidden from the public eye. The film gives these families a voice and tells their stories.

• While the film reveals a certain amount about their son Lucas, it does not portray the most harrowing aspects of his disability.

• Jess wants community members and churches to become more supportive of families living with children and adults with extreme special needs.

• Caregivers are in desperate need for more support at home and also day and residential programs.

• It’s okay for caregivers to say, “I don’t want to do this for the rest of my life.”
