Family Caregiver Awareness Month offers an opportunity to educate communities and improve support for the 1.1 million caregivers across Massachusetts. The Mass Caregiving Initiative at MeHI works year-round to foster innovation in the field of caregiving and support the Massachusetts caregiving community.
As a founding member of the Massachusetts Caregiver Coalition, MeHI and the MassTech Collaborative work with the Mass Business Roundtable and others to help employers support workers who are family caregivers, and drive public/private collaboration in order to recognize, honor, and support caregivers. To learn more, view our Caregiver Initiative page and read the recent report on the cost of caregiving to Massachusetts employers.
The Initiative also works with partners to highlight innovative solutions that leaders and organizations can use to lessen caregiver stress and provide support to caregivers. This includes an Innovations in Caregiving Webinar Series that publicizes research data and highlights approaches, products, and services that empower caregivers. Register for the next webinar in the series here.
MeHI also partners with the Executive Office of Elder Affairs and Mass Home Care to address the needs of caregivers and their supporting communities through webinars and other events. To register for the next webinar in the Caring for the Caregiver series, click here.
