Findings from a National Survey of Family Caregivers CD
Item Number: NAMI-16-032-C
|
|
Caregivers of persons with mental illness may experience numerous difficulties:
obtaining an accurate diagnosis, lack of treatment facilities, legal issues for their
loved one, barriers with health care professionals, insurance difficulties and often
lack of understanding by their relative. Until this year, no national research had
been conducted to quantify the numbers and demographics of these caregivers,
identify their needs, determine the responsibilities they assume for their loved
ones and provide data that will prompt additional research and improved services.
The National Alliance for Caregiving, in cooperation with NAMI and Mental Health
America, recently released
On Pins & Needles: Caregivers of Adults with Mental
Illness
. Hear the findings from the report, policy recommendations and suggestions
for future collaborative efforts to reduce the difficulties faced by these caregivers.
