Caregiving
Caregivers are unsung heroes, selflessly providing comfort and physical and emotional support to their loved ones. It is a pervasive yet often invisible challenge, affecting over 53 million unpaid caregivers in the U.S., who endure emotional strain, financial hardship, and isolation. More than likely, at some point in our lives, we all will become a caregiver for someone we love. In partnership with the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation, Detroit PBS is elevating the critical role of caregivers through engagement and resources.
