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.
