1 in 4 family caregivers struggles to care for their own health while caring for a loved one. This #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth, let’s raise awareness of the impact caregiving has on well-being. By sharing this post, you can help spark conversations about the need for more resources and support for family caregivers. It’s time to value family caregivers. Let’s stand together to ensure every caregiver has the support they deserve. #SupportCaregivers #iCare #FamilyCaregivers

It’s time to value family caregivers. As we kick off National Family Caregivers Month, we’re calling on our network to join us in recognizing the more than 53 million family caregivers providing complex care and the vital role they play in our society each and every day. We're deeply grateful to our 50+ members who champion family caregivers through their unwavering support of NAC. Their dedication is evident in their advocacy for policy change, delivery of direct services, and creation of caregiver-friendly workplace cultures throughout the year. Follow along this month as we share caregiver data, personal stories, and ways we can shift systems in support of family caregivers. Together, we can build a better future for family caregivers! #ICare #FamilyCaregivers #CaregivingIsLove #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth
