National Family Caregivers Month is organized each year by the National Family Caregivers Association and is designated as a time every year to thank, support, educate and empower family caregivers. "This year we are encouraging people to speak up during National Family Caregivers Month." said Suzanne Mintz, NFCA president and co-founder. "One of the most important attributes on being an advocate for your loved one is the willingness and the ability to speak up and keep your eye on the ultimate goal, protecting not only the health and safety of your loved ones but for yourself as well."

As a life coach, I work with medical professionals and other Nurturers on stress management, life balance and Intensive Self-Care. Over the years, I've noticed the Self-Care Deficiency Syndrome reaching epidemic proportion among the general public, particularly the caregivers. My new book "Intensive Care for the Nurturer's Soul: 7 Keys to Nurture Yourself While Caring for Others" is a great resource and perfect holiday gift for caregivers. It's set for release later this month. Stay tuned for book launch announcement on my blog.
