HHS highlights resources during National Family Caregivers Month

National Family Caregivers Month in November recognizes the contributions of people who provide life-giving care to their loved ones.

Family caregivers can be spouses, parents, children or close friends. According to AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving, there are 63 million unpaid caregivers who help their loved ones navigate life changes, tend to medical needs, provide physical and emotional support, help with household tasks, and more.

Family caregivers can also help their loved ones plan for the future. The Texas Health and Human Services Texas Talks campaign encourages Texans to talk to the older adults in their lives about aging in a compassionate and productive way.
