In Development

You Are Caring for Them. Who Is Caring for You?

The Caregiver Support & Education Initiative is being developed to stand with the people who give so much of themselves — the spouses, adult children, parents, friends, and family members caring for someone through serious illness, dialysis, recovery, or long-term need.

Program Vision

A Supportive Place for the People Who Carry Others

Caregiving can be one of the most loving and one of the most demanding roles a person will ever hold. Caregivers are often so focused on the person they love that they do not notice their own exhaustion, isolation, grief, or need.

The Caregiver Support & Education Initiative is being developed to offer caregivers a place to be understood, resourced, encouraged, and reminded that they are not invisible.

Education

Practical information to help caregivers navigate care, systems, and decisions.

Emotional & Spiritual Support

Faith-based encouragement, prayer, and pastoral care for the weight of caregiving.

Community & Connection

Places to connect with others who understand what it means to care for someone they love.

Resource Navigation

Help finding practical supports, programs, and help.

Workshops & Conversations

Ongoing learning and conversation around caregiving.

Caregiver Health

Encouraging caregivers to care for themselves as they care for others.
