Ms. Collins (for herself, Mr. Markey, Mrs. Capito, Mr. Luján, Ms. Baldwin, and Mr. Kim) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to
Recognizing November 2025 as National Family Caregivers Month
.
Whereas, in 2025, there were 63,000,000 family caregivers in the United States who provide essential care to millions of people each year, providing unpaid care worth an estimated $600,000,000,000 annually;
Whereas family caregivers play a vital role in the healthcare system of the United States, supporting loved ones who have chronic illnesses, disabilities, and are aging;
Whereas family caregivers, who are disproportionately women, often face significant challenges including financial strain, physical and emotional exhaustion, and social isolation; and
Whereas National Family Caregivers Month
is an opportunity to recognize and appreciate the contributions of family caregivers of all ages and to advocate for policies that support family caregivers: Now, therefore, be it
That the Senate—
(1)
recognizes November 2025 as National Family Caregivers Month
;
(2)
commends the 63,000,000 family caregivers in the United States who provide essential care to their loved ones and chosen family each day;
(3)
recognizes the importance of the 2022 National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers as a roadmap to better support caregivers in the United States; and
(4)
encourages all people of the United States to learn more about family caregiving and to support their loved ones and neighbors who are providing care.
