Supporting a Diversity of Family Caregivers

Family Caregiver Alliance

November is National Family Caregivers Month—a time to acknowledge, celebrate and thank family caregivers. Family Caregiver Alliance is excited to join others across the country in raising awareness and support for the 53 million Americans who provide care to one or more friends or family members.

Our theme this year is “Supporting a Diversity of Family Caregivers!” Throughout our 40+ years of serving family caregivers, we have listened closely to the experiences of caregivers from a range of cultures and communities and have developed resources to meet their specific needs. These include:

  • Fact sheets, videos & other materials translated to Chinese, Spanish, Tagalog & Vietnamese.
  • Family Consultants & Resources Specialists who are bi- or multi-lingual and can assist caregivers directly in Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Tagalog and Korean.
  • Support groups & online communities for LGBTQ+ caregivers, Spanish-speakers & young caregivers.
  • Partnerships & programs that improve support for LGBTQ+ caregivers.

This year, we are excited to share additional, all-new resources and tools on our website for diverse caregivers. Please visit our National Family Caregivers Month (NFCM) page, where you’ll find links to:

  • Brand new website sections for caregivers who speak Chinese, Spanish, Tagalog & Vietnamese.
  • 12+ newly translated fact sheets in 4 languages.
  • “Top Resources” — A collection of our most popular caregiving materials and resources, in 4 languages.
  • ¿Que Pasa? Boletin — An e-newsletter for Spanish-speaking caregivers.

If you’re a family caregiver, THANK YOU for your generosity, dedication and service! Please see our website for resources and information; and contact us if you need further assistance. If you’re a health care or social service provider, or part of an organization that serves caregivers, please share our information with your clients or patients. We look forward to helping them!

Watch for NFCM communications from us throughout this special month, on our website and social media channels!
