Are you a caregiver? Would you be able to recognize the caregivers in your surroundings?

The infographic ‘What is a caregiver?‘ aims to promote the acknowledgment and self-recognition of caregivers. Using interactive technology, it draws on the most recent findings and statistics to expand on key concepts set out in the Act to recognize and support caregivers.

The issues and realities it highlights concern caregivers and care receivers, the nature of the support provided and the potential repercussions of caregiving.
