November is National Family Caregivers Month and it’s time we center their well-being. Over 53 million Americans provide unpaid care for a loved one, often while juggling jobs, parenting, and their own health.

Caregivers face higher stress, depression, and financial hardship. And when caregivers burn out, everyone suffers.
Support tips:
- Offer to help with errands or meals
- Normalize respite care and therapy
- Advocate for paid family leave and caregiver tax credits
Your LivingScript: Reach out to a caregiver close to you. Let them know that their health matters, too. They deserve to be cared for, not just depended on.
