This resolution recognizes November 2025 as "National Family Caregivers Month" and highlights the critical role of family caregivers in the United States. The resolution notes that in 2025, approximately 63 million family caregivers provide essential unpaid care worth an estimated $600 billion annually, supporting loved ones with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and aging-related needs. It acknowledges the significant challenges faced by these caregivers, including financial strain, physical and emotional exhaustion, and social isolation, and points out that the number of family caregivers has grown by 10 million in the past five years. The resolution calls for recognizing and appreciating family caregivers of all ages, and urges federal agencies, states, and the private sector to support them through various policy measures. Specifically, it encourages implementing the 2022 National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers, developing person- and family-centered support strategies, and investing in policies such as tax credits, paid family leave, respite care, home and community-based services, and healthcare access. The resolution aims to raise awareness about family caregiving and encourage community support for these essential caregivers.
