Caring for the Caregiver
Mental Health America (MHA) is proud to recognize November as National Family Caregivers Month — a time to celebrate the contributions of caregivers, provide them with tools that they need, and continue to advocate for individuals with mental illness. This month, we celebrate the millions of caregivers in the U.S. who do so much for others. Mental Health America has the resources and information they need to protect their own #MentalHealth and well-being.
Caregiving can often have a significant impact on the life of the caregiver in more ways than one. It can make maintaining your physical and mental health more difficult and may put a strain on work and social life.
If you are a caregiver of someone with a mental illness, it is normal to feel unprepared or confused on how to help them. Feelings of inadequacy are common but remember, you are not alone and there is always professional help available.
Explore NIA’s health information articles, print publications, videos, & other resource to help you or someone you know on the caregiving journey. We also encourage you to share these resources on social media, in your communities, or with patients.
