National Family Caregivers Association DBA Caregiver Action Network
Caregiving Is Work
A national narrative initiative reframing caregiving as essential workforce infrastructure and elevating women caregivers as leaders whose contributions strengthen workplaces, families, and the economy.
Women's careers are most often disrupted not by lack of ambition, but by caregiving responsibilities that workplaces treat as personal problems. Caregiving Is Work shifts this narrative by positioning caregiving as essential workforce infrastructure. Led by Caregiver Action Network, the project elevates women caregivers as leaders, contributors, and economic stabilizers through a national storytelling and media campaign that reshapes how employers, policymakers, and the public understand work, leadership, and shared success in a changing economy.
