Celebrating National Family Caregivers Month

Let Family Caregivers Know They Matter

NASW continues its support for National Family Caregivers Month this November. This year’s theme, Family Caregivers Matter, is particularly relevant to social workers, who understand not only the ways family caregivers enhance the well-being of their care partners, but also the crucial role family caregivers play in the health care system. Take some time to let family caregivers know they matter during National Family Caregivers Month 2012.

Recent Child Care Updates

Since the start of the new year there have been several new developments regarding child care. Childcare has been a consistent conversation among parents, social workers, child advocates, and the childcare workforce because the costs of care are rising. Without affordable child care, some parents leave the workforce, and some spend more than 7% of their income on care while paying for other necessities. Childcare is plagued with long waitlists, low compensation for workers and some rural communities have few options to access care.
