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.
