Each November, we pause to recognize and honor the 63+ million family caregivers across the United States who devote their time, energy, and love to supporting a family member or friend with health needs.
Caregiver Action Network is the nationally recognized leader of National Family Caregivers Month (NFC Month), working with partners and advocates nationwide to highlight caregivers’ challenges, celebrate their dedication, and connect them to the resources they need.
About National Family Caregivers Month
National Family Caregivers Month is a time to:
- Raise awareness of the important role family caregivers play in our healthcare system.
- Educate communities about the challenges caregivers face and the support they need.
- Connect caregivers with trusted resources that make their journey a little easier.
- Honor caregivers for their commitment, resilience, and love.
Since 1994, November has been recognized through presidential proclamations, nonprofit campaigns, and community events nationwide. Each year features a unique theme chosen by Caregiver Action Network to spotlight an important issue in caregiving.
Why Connection Counts
Family caregivers are the backbone of our healthcare system. They provide billions of hours of unpaid care every year, often balancing work, family life, and personal health challenges along the way.
By recognizing National Family Caregivers Month, we shine a light on their experiences and provide a direct pathway to the resources, community, and support they deserve.
