NAC applauds the release of the strategy

JUST RELEASED: THE FIRST EVER NATIONAL STRATEGY TO SUPPORT FAMILY CAREGIVERS

The National Alliance for Caregiving – a coalition of 67 national
organizations – applauds the release of the 2022 National Strategy to
Support Family Caregivers developed by the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services but urges strong accountability and implementation efforts
to turn the strategy into action.


The strategy details more than350 federal actions and 150 measures that
state and local governments, public health departments, philanthropies, and
community-based, faith-based, and nonprofit organizations can take
immediately to support the nation’s 53 million family caregivers who make
up 21% of the population.


The National Strategy includes potential government actions that address
issues that family caregivers say are most important, including:


1)    Access to Respite Services

2)    Support with Day-to-Day and Complex Medical Tasks

3)    Inclusion of Caregivers in Care Teams

4)    Financial Education on Caregiving Costs

5)    Better Identification of Family Caregivers

6)    Research on the Needs of Family Caregivers


NAC was integral to mobilizing the caregiving community in support of the
RAISE (Recognize, Assist, Include, Support, and Engage) Act, which
established the council and process for developing the 2022 National
Strategy to Support Family Caregivers. NAC also worked with The John A.
Hartford Foundation and the National Academy for State Health Policy to
ensure family caregivers were centered in the development of the
recommendations and that the strategy reflected the lived experiences of
this diverse community.



We encourage individuals and organizations to provide public comment

on the National Strategy beginning on Oct. 1. The Strategy will be updated
biennially, informed in part by public feedback, ensuring it continues to
meet the needs of family caregivers and those they care for as they evolve.
