Lecture Tuesday on Maine’s Home Health Care Aide Shortage

Sandy Butler, professor of social work, and graduate assistant Alison Ashley will present information from their research on Tuesday, Nov. 2 into the worsening shortage of home health care aides at a time when needs are growing. They have interviewed women who work in these challenging, low-paying jobs to see why they stay and why they leave. The free discussion, from 12:10-1 p.m. in the Memorial Union Bangor Room, is presented by the Women’s Studies Program.
