Start Date:

November is National Family Caregivers Month!
Many families and individuals are caregivers to a loved one. These caregivers can be sons, daughters, parents, spouses, siblings, other relatives or even a friend of the person needing assistance. According to the Caregiver Action Network (CAN), the service provided by Family Caregivers represents 80% of all home care services, which is conservatively valued at $450 billion per year. The National MS Society supports the CAN in their efforts to recognize the family caregivers through our endorsement and recognition of November as National Family Caregivers Month. This is a nationally recognized time set aside every year to thank, support, educate, and celebrate more than 65 million family caregivers across the country! The National MS Society knows that being a Caregiver is a huge responsibility that comes with joy and frustration, as well as sacrifices, and we want to give something back to caregivers who have given so much to support others. To help us do this, please register for this Caregiver Program so we may get the appropriate details to recognize a caregiver you know with a special gift package during the month of November!
