You need care for an adult dependent

Disney has a plan for short- and long-term child and elder care needs.

Care.com conducts full background checks on backup child and elder care providers for help in a pinch. For ongoing child or elder care, they can work with you to find a facility or individual near you. Get started.

Use your Sick Time or Care Time.

Disney allows you to use Sick Time or Care Time when someone you’re responsible for is ill, or if you have other caregiving needs. Learn more.

This is also hard on you.

Be kind to yourself. Take a few minutes from time to time and breathe. Disney offers several mindfulness resources to help you feel calmer and more present.

Find a sounding board.

Managing the day-to-day responsibilities of caregiving takes its toll. Individual and couples counseling can make things easier. This is a situation the Cigna Employee Assistance Program (EAP) can help you address. You have up to 10 free counseling sessions with a licensed professional. Schedule an appointment by calling 1-800-952-6676 or visiting the Cigna Well-Being website for Disney employees and Cast Members.

Talk to other caregivers.

There’s strength in numbers. Trade stories and tips with other caregivers in your community. Your work location may have a related BERG or parents’ group. Learn more.
