National Family Caregivers Month is celebrated every November. It is a time to thank and honor people who care for family members with disabilities. This year’s theme, “Care Connects Us,” reminds caregivers that they are not alone.
In Oklahoma, thousands of families help their loved ones every day. They may help with health care, school, work, or activities in the community. Family caregivers play an important role in helping their loved ones live full and active lives.
National Family Caregivers Month also encourages caregivers to connect with local programs, support groups, and disability services. It is a time to recognize their hard work and raise awareness about the help and support they need and deserve.
