Caregiver Action Network

Celebrating National Family Caregivers Month

There are many organizations that support individuals and communities either at a local or national level. Once per month, for Wellness Wednesday, we will share one of these well-respected organizations in order to connect you with more resources that support Health & Wellness. 

This month, in the midst of celebrating National Family Caregivers Month we are sharing the resource Caregiver Action Network (CAN). This organization offers tips, shares caregiver stories and has a community for caregivers to have the support needed. In honor of the 2023 theme #CaregiversConnect the organization states:

Celebrating Family Caregivers during National Family Caregivers Month enables all of us to:

  • Raise awareness of family caregiver issues
  • Celebrate the efforts of family caregivers
  • Educate family caregivers about self-identification
  • Increase support for family caregivers
  • Reduce feelings of isolation

(Caregiver Action Network, Oct. 31, 2023)

Explore this resource to connect, learn and raise awareness. To engage with this year’s theme, use their hashtag #CaregiversConnect.

Every Wednesday, CommunityCare of Lyme lifts up a wellness topic, embracing the widest possible definition of individual and community well-being. We include local and national resources, individual and group programs and practices, and personal stories, videos, or songs that have something to teach us all. We are always seeking guest contributors! 

If you have a wellness-themed topic you would like to share or learn more about, please reach out to shelby@cclyme.org
