November is set aside to honor and celebrate the day-to-day efforts of the many family members who care for their loved ones who are disabled or ill.
This year family caregivers are being encouraged to speak up as advocates for their needs and the needs of the people they care for and for policies that ease the caregiving burden.
In addition they are reminded to:
- Believe in yourself.
- Protect your health
- Reach out for help.
- Speak up for your rights.
The world is moved not only by the mighty shoves of the heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker. Helen Keller
