Care is a universal need and the backbone of our economy. Nearly 1 in 5 people incur caregiving expenses. From infants to adults to elders, every household is likely to need care support or caregiving at some point in time. Caregiving is a universal need that impacts how millions across America earn income, accumulate assets, and save for the future. A successful care system must work across multiple sectors, including child care, adult care, elder care, family caregiving, and professional caregiving.

National Family Caregivers Month (NFCM) is celebrated every November to honor family caregivers, raise awareness of caregiving issues, and increase support for caregivers. While family caregivers should be celebrated every day, this is a time to recognize and honor caregivers nationally, raise awareness around caregiving issues, educate communities, and work to increase support for our nation's caregivers. Caregivers can be family members who care for other family members, or they can be people who care for a family of choice. They perform a variety of tasks, including providing emotional support, feeding, grooming, managing money, shopping, and transportation. Caregiving can be time-consuming and require a lot of energy, empathy, and patience. Here are some ways to support caregivers: Listen attentively Don't be judgmental Ask what they need Offer your time Give them space Bring food Offer to take them out Help arrange respite care #NFCM #CareGivers #Support #Family #Community

Is it fair for kids to take on caregiving roles?   Over 391,300 children in Australia are caregivers, handling everything from cooking and cleaning to administering medications and bathing family members. While some say this builds resilience, we must ask—at what cost?   Kids aren’t equipped to shoulder such heavy responsibilities. The emotional and physical toll can lead to anxiety, depression, and social isolation. Yet changes in family dynamics, healthcare shifts, and economic pressures are placing these burdens on their shoulders.   It’s not about blame—it’s about awareness. Communities, schools, and policymakers need to recognize these young carers and provide the support they desperately need. Every caregiver, regardless of age, deserves compassion and resources.   We can do better. Let’s make sure caregiving doesn’t cost kids their childhoods.   What do you think? Is this responsibility too much for young shoulders?

We are thrilled to be working with SafeLives to deliver a webinar exploring the stigma families can face when seeking support for domestic abuse. If you work with families and want to consider how you can reduce barriers in your own practice or organisation then this is for you! #domesticabuse

As we begin to close out National Family Caregivers Month and move into Thanksgiving week, one last stat to consider: Every year at least 53 million people provide informal – and usually unpaid – care and support to aging family members and people of all ages with disabilities. Read the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers to learn more: ACL.gov/CaregiverStrategy #Caregiving 53 million isn't a small number. It's approximately 16% of the US population.

When your patients don't quit quietly, they tell their friends. In 2024, Cincinnati Children's Hospital welcomed 13,000 outpatient visits from Hoosier families! This statistic is more than just a number; it signifies the lengths Indiana families are willing to go for quality care. These families are making sacrifices—leaving work early, taking days off, arranging travel and childcare, and incurring additional expenses for gas and food—just to receive superior healthcare for their children. A few years back, the demand was so high that Cincinnati Children's had to temporarily freeze out-of-state patient visits. What sets Cincinnati Children's apart? A patient advocacy program that streamlines appointments, effective communication across departments, specialties who look at the whole patient, endless studies and a commitment to providing the best care possible. It’s no wonder families, already facing numerous challenges, choose to navigate these extra hurdles. In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, advocacy plays a pivotal role in driving meaningful change. It’s not just about voicing concerns; it's about mobilizing communities, influencing policy, and fostering an environment where every child's healthcare needs are prioritized, not forgotten.
