Abstract/ Summary
Male caregivers in modern society often are overlooked or face discrimination. Due to the belief systems in our society, many men fell as though they should not seek outside help with their caregiving, and often experience health problems. Thus, it is important for healthcare professionals to ask questions to ensure that the male caregivers are maintaining their wellbeing. Encouraging discussions can assist in this as well as identifying if they need help from outside resources.
