November is also National Family Caregiver Awareness Month. To help do our part in acknowledging the monumental societal and economic support caregivers provide every day, National Alliance for Caregiving has partnered with The National Caregiver Action Network to help raise awareness around how we all can help support and uplift caregivers across the country. Caregiver Action Network (the National Family Caregivers Association) began promoting national recognition of family caregivers in 1994. President Clinton signed the first NFC Month Presidential Proclamation in 1997 and every president since has followed suit by issuing an annual proclamation recognizing and honoring family caregivers each November. We look forward to continuing this important tradition this year as well as the years to come. Follow the #CaregiverAnd tag on social media to get involved.
