National Family Caregivers Month (November)
November is National Family Caregivers Month. According to www.joniandfriends.org, there are more than 50 million family caregivers across the country. Help Serving Strong join Joni and Friends give a great round of support & encouragement to these hard workers who are a vital part of our society. Caregivers carry a unique weight on their shoulders. It's good to recognize them and share our appreciation.
Visit the Joni and Friends website and look at all the information and programs they provide. There are resources, programs, field ministries, and so on.
When we help each other carry our respective loads, we are Serving Strong!
My book CHANGING PLACES: A Christian Caregiver's Guide has invaluable information for those caring for aging parents.
