NASEM Workshop Proceedings Report: Strategies and Interventions to Strengthen Support for Family Caregivers for Individuals with Serious Illness or Disability
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) has released a workshop proceedings report, "Strategies and Interventions to Strengthen Support for Family Caregivers for Individuals with Serious Illness or Disability."
Family members and other caregivers are increasingly providing complex, long-term care for loved ones living with serious illnesses or disabilities. While caregiving can be deeply meaningful, it also can bring significant physical, emotional and financial burdens.
NASEM convened a public workshop in June 2025 to examine strategies to reduce caregiver burden, practices to serve the unique needs of populations such as young, and working caregivers and opportunities to scale successful programs and advance supportive policies across health, social and workplace settings.
This Proceedings of a Workshop—in Brief provides a summary of the workshop’s presentations and discussions, including perspectives from family caregivers, health care providers, researchers and policy leaders.
