National Family Caregiver Support Program

The Administration on Aging (AoA), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, says in their Caregiver Tip Sheet:
"Taking care of our caregivers: November
is National Family Caregivers Month.
During this month we recognize the nearly
44 million Americans who care for their
relatives, friends, and neighbors."
Depression is twice as common among caregivers compared to noncaregivers." - AoA

For more information visit the AoA's National Family Caregiver Support Program website.

Please help support family caregivers this month - we don't get paid for the hard work we do and we sacrifice so much that others may have the quality of life we all deserve.
