Connecting Caregivers


As a family caregiver, you belong to a very large community, about 50 million strong. Connecting with other caregivers can foster hope and provide guidance as well as emotional and spiritual support as you face issues surrounding everyday caregiving.
Join NFCA

As a means to educate, provide support, and connect family caregivers to a community and each other, NFCA created the state network of NFCA volunteers known as the Caregiver Community Action Network, (CCAN). CCANers have all had their own family caregiving experience and now assist others to find information and the support in an effort to improve their family caregiving experience and to aid in the development of important bonds with other family caregivers.

The following links can be used as a starting point to share your journey as a means to reach out and connect to other family caregivers.

The Caregiver Story Project: The NFCA "Caregiver Story Project" is an opportunity for family caregivers to share their caregiving journeys, hopes and dreams for the future as well as to read about other family caregivers' experiences.

Events Calendar: A list of family caregiving conferences, workshops and classes throughout the country.

Caregiver Message Boards: A place where family caregivers can go for questions, support and general discussions on various topics concerning family caregiving.
