National Family Caregivers Month is observed each November in the United States. It is a time to recognize and honor the millions of family caregivers who provide support to elderly, ill, or disabled loved ones. The observance raises awareness about the important role caregivers play and highlights the challenges they face, such as managing daily tasks, providing medical care, and balancing their own personal lives.

The month also encourages caregivers to practice self-care and seek support to avoid burnout. Various organizations, including the Caregiver Action Network (CAN), often promote resources and hold events to provide education, assistance, and appreciation for caregivers during this time.

The theme of National Family Caregivers Month varies from year to year, focusing on different aspects of caregiving and addressing specific issues relevant to caregivers.
