Family Caregivers
& Support for the Aging
Toolkit
Care for yourself as you care for someone else.
Aging is a privilege that can also bring unique challenges to the mental health of the elderly and their families. With age comes wisdom, but with the added stress of illness, isolation, loss of independence and increased reliance on family to provide physical and emotional support. The mental toll that caring for our older generation — often while still raising children — can take on caregivers cannot be ignored.
November is National Family Caregivers Month. Use these resources to understand the risks that face our elders and how we can provide support for their mental health and that of their caregivers. You can print, distribute or share via social media the materials in this toolkit throughout the month of November and all year long. Let's #CareForCaregivers as we #RespectOurElders.
