“Family caregivers are a vital part of our communities, enhancing the health, quality of life and independence of people of all ages,” said Sara Damiano, director of the HHS Office of Aging Services Coordination. “Whether nurturing children, supporting older adults, advocating for people with disabilities or caring for those facing serious illnesses, family caregivers embody resilience and compassion.”
The HHS Strengthen the Care You Give campaign was organized by the Aging Services Coordination to teach Texans about the role of the family caregiver, highlight issues associated with caregiving, and build awareness of available services and supports.
