National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers

The National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers (Strategy) is the result of three years of focused effort by two Congressionally mandated advisory councils: The Recognize, Assist, Include, Support, and Engage (RAISE) Act Family Caregiving Advisory Council and The Advisory Council to Support Grandparents Raising Grandchildren (SGRG) (collectively referred to herein as the Advisory Councils).The two Advisory Councils were formed in 2019 to explore and document the challenges faced by family caregivers and kin and grandparent caregivers, respectively. Each was charged with providing actionable recommendations for supporting their corresponding caregiving populations in a holistic way both now and in the future. In addition, the RAISE Act directed the development of a family caregiving strategy.
