Caregiving impacts us all –
Join us in Recognizing Family Caregivers This November
This November, we’re joining the caregiving community to celebrate National Family Caregiver Month. Let’s honor the invaluable, often overlooked contributions of family caregivers. You can make a difference by simply reaching out to a family caregiver in your life. A kind word, a supportive text, or a thoughtful phone call can mean the world.
Show Your Gratitude
To truly appreciate caregivers is to show them we see and support them. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Let’s recognize the family caregivers in our lives and communities.
Help Us See the Unseen
Decades of working with family caregivers have taught us the importance of recognizing and supporting those who provide care. Let’s help shine a light on the 105 million Americans serving as family caregivers. Together, we can make a difference.
Thank and Support a Caregiver Today
A simple gesture, like a text, email, or handwritten note, can be a lifeline for caregivers. Here’s a message you can use to express your appreciation:
It’s National Family Caregiver Month, and I’ve been learning about the incredible work of caregivers. I know you’ve been caring for [Name], and I wanted to let you know I appreciate you and that you’re not alone.
Share on Social Media
Spread awareness about family caregivers on social media. Here’s a sample post and images you can use:
It’s National Family Caregiver Month, and I’m joining the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers to recognize the 105 million family caregivers in the U.S. Let’s celebrate their vital contributions to our families and communities.
