As you know, NAMI
Maryland is dedicated to improving awareness for mental health
conditions and related disorders, and we are excited to announce
that we are working with the Maryland Department of Disabilities
to understand the current issues and concerns with informal
family caregivers in Maryland! Informal family
caregivers provide a family member,
friend or neighbor (across the lifespan) with supportive care
when they are unable to care for themselves. Caregiving may
include helping an adult or child with an illness or disability
accomplish activities of daily living, such as walking or getting
dressed, household chores, or money management. It may also
include coordinating outside services, and medical care. Other
support includes driving the individual to appointments or
visiting regularly with a concern for their personal safety and
well-being. You can learn more about informal
family caregivers in Maryland here. If you are a family
caregiver, we would appreciate your feedback on a short, five minute survey! Your
responses will be used to help develop topics for critical
mini-webinars the Maryland Department of Disabilities' Technology
Assistance Program will release in the fall. Your input is
invaluable. Thank you for your help! Complete this survey for
your chance to win a $25 Amazon gift card! |
