Let’s spread the word about true care
Glenn Hallam, Ph.D.
I developed this site in honor of my special needs son Gavin, my soulmate and daily inspiration, a young man who may not be able to read or write, but who has an engaging personality and heart of gold. I know that someday I’ll be gone, and he’ll be under the care of professionals. My hope is that they will be thoughtful and kind, free of dysfunction, willing and able to put his needs first.
Each of us will have the opportunity t0 care for those who are dependent, and many of us will be under the care of someone else. I had the amazing experience of caring for my parents in their final years of life, when my father had dementia and my mother fought cancer. I see how we all could become dependent, how important it is that we take their perspective and work to meet their needs, not our own.
Dr. Glenn Hallam is a retired psychologist and serial entrepreneur, who founded Creative Metrics, Wahi Media, Red Movie House and Green Dock Ventures. He is committed to helping elderly and special needs adults who are dependent on caretakers.
Glenn’s father was an educator and real estate investor in California. He loved cross-word puzzles, art, sports cars, boats, big band jazz, his five children and eleven grandchildren. Kirk died at age 95, just short of his 70th wedding anniversary.
Glenn’s mother, also an educator and investor, remained upbeat, organized and diplomatic until her death at age 93. She loved to read, watch football, and surround herself with her loud and lively family — laughing, listening to music and sharing stories.
