For years, caregiving has been treated like something that happens quietly in the background. But here’s the truth: caregiving isn’t a side story anymore. It’s central to American life and to the strength of our workforce.

In Georgia and across the country, that reality is already shaping how people work, care for their families, and engage with our health systems. Yet too often, our policies and workplaces haven’t caught up.

During National Family Caregivers Month, we described caregiving as “love in motion.” It is an act of commitment, resilience, and sacrifice, but love alone doesn’t provide paid leave, affordable services, or mental health support. As caregiving becomes more common, one question grows more urgent: Who is caring for the caregivers?

Georgia’s family caregivers give their time, energy, and hearts to care for loved ones every day. This National Family Caregivers Month, Georgians for a Healthy Future celebrates their stories and calls for stronger policies to support them.

November is National Family Caregivers Month, a time to honor the Georgians who care for loved ones, neighbors, and community members with strength and compassion. Every day, family caregivers perform acts of love in motion—managing medications, offering emotional support, navigating health systems, and keeping households running.

At Georgians for a Healthy Future (GHF), we’re proud to support caregivers through our Caregivers Advisory Group, which is dedicated to raising awareness and expanding outreach to caregivers of all ages, in both paid and unpaid roles. This group helps shape policies that ensure caregivers are recognized, supported, and connected to vital resources.
