What Is Our Mission?

Caregiving International is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting families who care for aging loved ones. Caregiving International advances caregiver education, statewide support networks, aging-in-place strategies, and public awareness initiatives that strengthen families, reduce healthcare strain, and preserve dignity across generations.

We strive to create a culture of honor, respect, and love that strengthens families and uplifts communities. Through our advocacy efforts, we work to prevent elder abuse and raise awareness about the challenges for the sick, elderly, and families who care for children with special needs.

Every November, we celebrate National Family Caregivers Month

A time to honor, recognize, and support the incredible individuals who provide care to loved ones every single day.

Whether they're caring for aging parents, children with special needs, or family members facing illness or disability, caregivers are the heart of compassion and strength in our communities.

This month reminds us that caregivers deserve care, too. Their days are often filled with challenges, long hours, and emotional demands, yet they continue to give selflessly. National Caregivers Month encourages us to show appreciation, offer support, and raise awareness about the importance of caregiver health and well-being.
