Are you caring for your spouse, a parent, a grandchild or friend? Chances are, you, or someone you know is. DSHS Secretary Dreyfus speaks from her own personal experience and adds her voice to recognize and support the more than 600,000 unpaid family and kinship caregivers caring for loved ones in Washington State. Caregiving can be rewarding, but it can also take its toll. It is critical that family and kinship caregivers take time and care for themselves. The Family Caregiver Support Program, offered by your local Area on Aging, offers helpful information, support and services to unpaid caregivers throughout Washington. You are not alone. Help is a call or click away. Visit www.adsa.dshs.wa.gov/caregiving to find your area's Family Caregiver Support Program and to see valuable links on a variety of caregiving topics. (less info)
