There are an estimated 54 million caregivers nationwide with families providing nearly 80% of care.  It is important for families to hold conferences often to establish each member’s role and responsibility to help ease the burden on one person.  

The survivor’s family is the single most important source of support.  The family can help the survivor have the will to recover and be independent through encouragement and reassurance.  There are support groups available that discuss a wide variety of topics that may help.  For a current listing, contact the NSF office.
