November is National Family Caregivers Month! It’s a time to recognize the family members and friends who provide care and support to loved ones, including people with disabilities.
Caregiving can look different for every family. Whether it means helping with daily tasks, coordinating appointments, providing transportation, or offering support, caregivers deserve support, too.
This month and every month, let’s recognize caregivers and help connect them with the support they need.
Looking for resources?
Family caregivers deserve support, too! If you’re caring for a family member or friend, these resources can help you find information, connect with others, and explore available services.
This is not an exhaustive list; contact us at Disability Network Southwest Michigan for additional information.
