Awareness Months
On this page we will highlight national awareness months related to mental health and substance use/misuse.
November is Family Caregivers Month
This month is designated as Family Caregivers Month. The responsibilities of a caregiver are frequently linked to caring for a disabled family member and undertaking tasks such as meal preparation, housekeeping, and financial management. Nevertheless, the role of a caregiver extends far beyond these duties. A caregiver may offer emotional support and motivation, transport individuals to their appointments, accompany them during medical visits, assist in making treatment choices, help them comprehend their rights, provide a listening ear for those facing challenges related to symptoms or recovery, make legal or financial decisions on their behalf, facilitate accommodations in educational or workplace settings, run errands, and navigate crisis situations.
