National Family Caregivers Month

Led by Caregiver Action Network

Each November, we pause to recognize and honor the 53+ million family caregivers across the United States who devote their time, energy, and love to supporting a family member or friend with health needs.

Caregiver Action Network is the nationally recognized leader of National Family Caregivers Month (NFC Month), working with partners and advocates nationwide to highlight caregivers’ challenges, celebrate their dedication, and connect them to the resources they need.

Why Connection Counts

Family caregivers are the backbone of our healthcare system. They provide billions of hours of unpaid care every year, often balancing work, family life, and personal health challenges along the way.

By recognizing National Family Caregivers Month, we shine a light on their experiences and provide a direct pathway to the resources, community, and support they deserve.
