What Does It Mean to Be a Caregiver?

Caregiving includes everyday acts like reminding a loved one to take medication or driving them to appointments. Yet many don’t realize these actions make them caregivers. Recognizing yourself as a caregiver is the first step to accessing support, resources, and community that can make your journey easier and healthier.

Peer Support
