About The Caregiver Support Campaign

What is the purpose of this campaign?

This campaign recognizes the vital role that informal caregivers—such as family members, friends, and neighbors—play in helping older adults, individuals with disabilities or chronic illnesses, and those with dementia thrive in their chosen living environments. It also aims to highlight the growing emotional and economic strain on family caregivers, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through this campaign, we encourage caregivers to prioritize their own well-being and connect with resources, support groups, and respite services.

Who qualifies as an informal or family caregiver?

Informal caregivers are typically family members, friends, or neighbors who provide unpaid assistance with daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning, personal care, and transportation. These caregivers offer essential support, love, and care, often without formal training or compensation.

Why is it important for informal caregivers to take care of themselves?

Caring for others can be physically and emotionally demanding, especially during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s important for informal caregivers to take time for themselves, whether it's relaxing with a book, going for a walk, or addressing their own health needs. Self-care helps caregivers maintain their well-being so they can continue to provide care for others without becoming overwhelmed.

How can informal caregivers access resources and support?

Informal caregivers can access a variety of resources, including information on support groups, respite care services, and other programs designed to assist them in their caregiving journey. These resources can help caregivers balance their personal lives with caregiving responsibilities while ensuring they receive the support they need.
