In 2021, the estimated economic value of family caregivers’ unpaid contributions was approximately $600 billion.

Without family caregivers, that would fall on the public sector to subsidize in one way or another. 

We don’t need a “thank you,” or a pat on the back.  We need help – real help – through sustainable programs and support systems built to care for our country’s family caregivers. 

However, make sure self-care is at the center of all your caregiver support.
