"Family caregivers of all ages provide support to a host of individuals, from the ever-growing number of people and especially older adults with the gamut of physical and mental health conditions. They are an integral part of our society, and the health and home care delivery system. They are needed and relied on now more than ever. Increasingly care is falling on children and adolescents, for whom there is so little support and recognition. The recommendations of the RAISE Family Caregiving Advisory Council give us tangible ways to support them and offers one of the first opportunities for the voices of all family caregivers to be heard on a national level." said Connie Siskowski, RN, PhD, President and Founder of AACY. For more background on AACY, please visit www.aacy.org The council's recommendations serve as the foundation of the forthcoming National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers. The council was established as part of the RAISE Act, which passed Congress in 2018. For more information, visit www.acl.gov/ End
