Campaign: Caregivers Count

Join Our Campaign

The Caregivers Count campaign recognizes and honors the diverse experiences of caregivers. Because many people don’t see themselves as “caregivers,” they overlook essential support services that may ease their caregiver experience.  

Many people help sick or debilitated loved ones because they believe that is what is expected of them as a family member or friend. However, assuming the role of  caregiver is so much more than kinship or spending time together; it involves undertaking  a myriad of unplanned or extra actions to support and maintain someone’s  health and quality of life . 

Take Action

Helping people recognize and acknowledge the caregivers in their lives, and connecting them to relevant resources is the heart of this campaign. Here are actions you can take right now to support caregivers in your community.

• Be an advocate and download our campaign toolkit. The campaign toolkit explains how you can start help caregivers find the right resources with sample social media posts, a letter-to-the editor template, an email draft and much more.
