When we take time out to rest and relax, we’re more engaged and productiveeven more effective at our work tasks. But that’s a hard sell to people under the gun with career demands and deadlines. One of the most common refrains is, I can’t afford to take 20 or 30 minutes to meditate or exercise when I could use that time to meet a deadline.

There are millions of caregivers like Rochelle who struggle to provide dementia care while working. It's time for Congress to make #PaidLeave a reality so families can balance care and work. Take action and stand up with caregivers! https://buff.ly/3gXEyJk UsAgainstAlzheimer’s #DementiaCareMatters #PaidLeave #AmericanFamiliesPlan

It's day two of our Coaches Convening - a chance for us to connect with and support the incredible network of caregiver coaches we work with - and we're feeling energized and inspired! We want to give a special thanks to Kim Fuller at the Friends of Jimmy Carter National Historic Site and Nicole Thurston Kirksey at Americus - Sumter County Tourism for your generous raffle donations. Thanks to you, our coaches got a touch of Sumter County, even if we couldn't be together in person this year!

Caregiving is a complex challenge, with countless angles, and will take all of us working together through a holistic approach to address it. - Dr. Jennifer Olsen, RCI Executive Director https://buff.ly/3owBM0I

Some of the greatest advice, support, and comfort for #caregivers come from other caregivers who can share their stories and experiences. Reach out and join a community like ours #NationalMentoringDay.

Without fresh perspective and robust strategies, the health, strength, and resilience of unpaid family #caregivers will remain at great risk, with long-term repercussions for our nation’s health, economy. #CaregiversInCrisis https://buff.ly/3owBM0I

When people hear "caregiver," they often think of an adult child, caring for an elderly parent towards the end of their life. But there is truly no one typical caregiver. Caregivers are all ages and backgrounds and are often thrust into caregiving roles unexpectedly. This Wellsville Daily Reporter on their kindship caregiver program is a perfect example. #IAmACaregiver

Caregiving often comes at a cost - both to the mental and physical health of the #caregiver, and also to their financial security. Planning is key!

RCI serves all kinds of unpaid family #caregivers, including through programs specifically tailored for caregivers of people with dementia and veterans (CC Operation Family Caregiver)

As we prepare for #NationalFamilyCaregiverMonth coming up in November, we'll be sharing across our social platforms amazing stories of Volunteer, Para-Professional and Family #caregivers. Follow along as we introduce our Georgia Caregiver of the Year nominees, brought to you by Seniorlink. #CGOY

As we get #VoteReady at RCI, we're reminded of the incredible work of our friends at The Carter Center Check out their website to learn more about how they protect election integrity all around the world!

Dr. Jennifer Olsen, Executive Director of RCI: "In public health, we constantly try to keep people out of the emergency room...Unfortunately, caregivers tend to reach out for help or get support when they're at their stress point, when they are experiencing physical or mental health ailments themselves. I think this is the point for the country to see that #caregivers, if supported, won't get to those stress points, won't show up in that emergency room of their caregiver journey." #CaregiversInCrisis (via PBS NewsHour)

Every October 21, the National Community Pharmacists Association recognizes "National Check Your Meds Day." If you're a #caregiver helping with medication management, visit their website for resources and tips.
