@LEAD_Coalition @tinybuddha Brilliant! That is exactly how Family Caregivers feel. Thank you for highlighting that.

[Ian Kremer @LEAD_Coalition]

For many who give care, there is no choice, no support, no respite. They survive, but cannot thrive. As a society, we owe them more than encouragement and gratitude. We owe them the resources to make practical decisions about how care is accomplished.

YES! Caregiving Cafe is working with our local school district in Austin, TX, to identify students, teachers, staff & families who are caregiving for a Loved One. Our goal is to bring resources, education, fellowship, coping skills & wellness habits to add to their days.

[American Association of Caregiving Youth (AACY) @AACYorg]

Young carers are on the rise in UK schools, but a significant number remain unidentified. This gap means they miss out on crucial support. The UK is right to prioritize identifying these young caregivers. The US should do the same.

When #dementia steals our words, we still can communicate with #kindness, touch, laughter, expression, and love.

More than 1 in 5 people in the United States, totaling over 53 million, work every day to care for a loved one. This National Family Caregiver Month, it’s time for federal leaders to support our Caregiver Nation by funding and implementing the RAISE Act. #CaregiversConnect

[CaregivingCafe @CaregivingCafe]

Today, 53 million Americans shoulder the responsibility of unpaid family caregiving. Our leaders need to step up with the critical support and funding they need. This National Family Caregivers Month, it’s time to take action for our Caregiver Nation. #CaregiversConnect

[CaregivingCafe @CaregivingCafe]

This National Family Caregivers Month, our Caregiver Nation needs support. It’s time for elected leaders to take action for the 53 million unpaid heroes caring for loved ones across the US. #CaregiversConnect

“Imagine having a successful career and happy life then you become #chronicallyill, not able to work…to function or do the things you used to. All taken in the blink of an eye… You grieve every day for the person you once were.” https://t.co/P2Ame1xxqr #ChronicPain #NERVEmber

[Rick Lauber @cdncaregiver]

Sometimes, it's the little things a #caregiver can do for an #agingsenior that will make a world of difference: try active listening, sharing a hug, and/or holding a hand.
