<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">Idaho Public Television will air the two-hour
special <B>“Caring for Your Parents”</B> on Wednesday, April 2, at 9:00 p.m.
MT/PT. The first 90 minutes of the documentary, which was written and produced
by award-winning television journalist Michael Kirk, a former Idahoan, looks at
the complexity of shifting caregiver roles. </P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><BR></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">In the final 30 minutes of the show, medical
correspondent Dr. Art Ulene leads a panel discussion that offers concrete advice
and guidance on how to start the conversation about eldercare — often the most
difficult step in caregiving.</P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><BR></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in">Local experts on aging and trained AARP volunteers
will take viewer calls throughout the two-hour program. These Idaho residents
are familiar with in-state resources and how to best meet caregiving challenges.
IdahoPTV will have more than 15 phone lines open to accept calls. Viewers can
call toll-free to (800) 980-4788 for live, off-air and confidential advice,
offered free of charge.</P>
