Your Family And You

(NAPSI)—The importance of caregivers cannot be overstated. With over 65 million Americans providing caregiving, it is clear that caregivers are essential to our nation. Whether during National Family Caregivers Month in November or at any time, it’s a good idea to honor caregivers, providing them with gratitude for their countless efforts in caring for loved ones.

Caregivers understand that such care often comes at substantial costs to the caregivers themselves and to their families. Family caregiving can also be a stressful and physically exhausting experience.

Caregivers frequently need resources and support to keep their lives running smoothly, and to ensure their own health and the health of their care recipient. Caregivers can have a hard time asking for the help and support they need and many don’t know where to begin.
