November is National Family Caregivers Month!

A time to recognize the extraordinary dedication of family members who provide essential care for loved ones, including those with mental health conditions.

While you dedicate so much of yourself to caring for others, it’s equally important to make time to care for your own mental health. This month, we want to support you by highlighting resources created to protect your well-being and the mental health of those you care for.

Ways to take action

Explore our caregiver resource center. Visit our dedicated hub for information on

essential caregiving topics. Inside, you’ll find ways to manage your own mental health and navigate how caregiving stress affects your daily life.

Discover our guide for new mental health caregivers. If you are new to caregiving, it's a great place to start.

Take a mental health screen. If you are feeling overwhelmed, or if the person you care for is struggling, free, anonymous, online mental health screening tools are a quick way to check symptoms and get connected to the right support.

 Connect with Caregiver Action Network (CAN). Tap into the nation’s leading family caregiver organization for free educational toolkits, peer support communities, and access to their Caregiver Help Desk to connect directly with caregiving experts for confidential, personal guidance.
