SRES 917 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution recognizing November 2024 as "National Family Caregivers Month".

This resolution recognizes November 2024 as "National Family Caregivers Month" to honor the 53 million unpaid family caregivers in the U.S. who provide essential care to loved ones with chronic illnesses, disabilities, or aging needs. It highlights that these caregivers, disproportionately women, offer support valued at $600 billion annually while facing challenges like financial strain and isolation. The resolution encourages public recognition of their contributions and references the 2022 National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers as a framework for future policy. (Note: As a recognition resolution, it does not create new laws or alter existing policies.)
