National Family Caregivers Month

[link removed]

Dear Friend,

November is National Family Caregivers
Month. We gratefully honor those who tirelessly and selflessly give
their devotion and energy to their family members who need care,
especially those who are caring for someone living with Alzheimer's
disease or other dementia.

Each year, more than 11 million family
members and friends in the U.S. provide an estimated 18 billion hours
of unpaid care, both in person and virtually, to those with
Alzheimer's and other dementia. Their commitment is driven by love,
their sense of duty and necessity of the situation. In 2022, this type
of care had an estimated economic value of $340 billion.

I want to take a moment to thank
caregivers everywhere for making such an incredible impact on the
lives of those living with Alzheimer's.

The challenges of being a caregiver
can be even greater during the holidays. The holidays are often filled
with opportunities for family togetherness, sharing and laughter. But
they can also bring stress, disappointment and sadness.

At the Alzheimer's Association, we
want caregivers to know they're not alone. We are here to help.

For caregivers, and for all who are
facing Alzheimer's or another dementia, we offer:

* Our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900), staffed by master's-level
clinicians who provide confidential support to people living
with Alzheimer's and their families.
* ALZNavigator®, an online tool which offers caregivers the
guidance and information they need to keep themselves strong and
healthy, both physically and emotionally.

* Educational programs and

support groups, allowing caregivers to connect with a network of
support anytime they need it.

If you know an Alzheimer's caregiver
and you are able to help in any way - perhaps, with a few hours
of relief, a coffee break, or even a card - please reach out.
Your words of kindness could mean so much, especially during the
holidays.

If you are wondering how to offer
meaningful support for caregivers in your life, I strongly encourage
you to watch our ALZ Talks video "Caring for Caregivers", in
which we talk with two caregivers who share their personal
experiences, lessons learned and the challenges they've faced. I hope
you find it both informative and inspiring.

Thank you for all you do to help drive
our mission to lead the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia
- by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and
early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.

Thank you, again. And happy holiday
season to you.

With sincere gratitude,
Kristen Clifford
Chief Program Officer
