National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers

Key findings used in wiki

  • The strategy frames caregiver support as public support infrastructure, not an optional add-on for a few families.
  • It explicitly notes that caregivers often provide support without formal assessment, training, or clear legal authority, which helps justify GiveCare's assessment and navigation layers.
  • Its five goals — awareness/outreach, partnership, services/supports, financial/workplace security, and evidence-building — map closely to GiveCare's public problem framing.
  • The strategy calls on clinicians, systems, and programs to identify caregivers, assess caregiving needs, and connect families to support, not leave them to navigate fragmented services alone.
  • It also emphasizes targeted outreach to underserved and hard-to-reach caregivers, which supports GiveCare's low-friction, SMS-first access logic.
