Caring for a spouse, parent, family, member, friend, or loved one can be rewarding, but it can also be stressful, exhausting, and isolating. Many caregivers spend so much time caring for others that they forget to care for themselves.

Care 4 Caregivers is designed to change that. The program helps you feel more confident in your caregiving role, access support sooner, care for your own well-being alongside your loved one, and take small, manageable steps toward better outcomes.

With the program, you can:

• Find clear, reliable information when you need it
• Learn practical skills to handle everyday caregiving challenges
• Recognize when to seek help and where to turn
• Connect to services like respite care, Medicare support, and mental health resources
• Stay supported without feeling overwhelmed

Care 4 Caregivers combines 3 key tools to support you on your caregiving journey:

Caregiver Counseling: Personalized support designed for your unique needs
Because every caregiving situation is unique, Care 4 Caregivers connects family caregivers with a trained and experienced case manager who can provide individualized caregiver counseling and support based on the caregiver’s needs and circumstances. Caregiver counseling is a Family Caregiver Support Program (FCSP) service designed to help caregivers manage the emotional, physical, and practical challenges associated with caring for a loved one. 

Caregiver counseling may include: 

• Individual counseling sessions by phone or in person (appointment only)
• Support for caregiver stress, depression, grief, and loss related to caregiving responsibilities
• Problem solving and coping strategies for challenging caregiving situations
• Involvement of family members and informal support systems when appropriate
• Connections to respite care, support groups, and other community resources
• Ongoing guidance, encouragement, and follow-up throughout the caregiving journey

The goal of caregiver counseling is to strengthen the well-being, reduce caregiver burden, and help caregivers feel more confident and supported in their caregiving role.
