National Family Caregivers Month

“One of the most important attributes on being an advocate for your loved one is the willingness and the ability to speak up and keep your eye on the ultimate goal, protecting not only the health and safety of your loved ones but for yourself as well.” - Suzanne Mintz, NFCA president and co-founder

National Family Caregiver (NFC) Month is organized each year by the National Family Caregivers Association and is designated as a time every year to thank, support, educate and empower family caregivers.
