💙 Today we recognize and celebrate National Caregivers Day 💙

National Caregivers Day is a special observance dedicated to honoring the selfless individuals who provide care to others — whether as professionals or as family members. Caregivers offer compassion, patience, and unwavering dedication every single day, often without recognition or reward.

From assisting with daily activities and medical needs to providing emotional support and comfort, caregivers make an incredible impact on the lives of those they serve.

To all caregivers in our community — we see you, we appreciate you, and we thank you for the difference you make. 💐✨

Whether your company has well-established caregiving benefits or none, today is the perfect opportunity to take the first step.

On Presidents Day, many people think of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Both are important figures in American history and have birthdays in February. But did you know they also had disabilities while serving in office?

Washington was thought to have had a learning disability that affected his ability to write and spell.

Lincoln suffered from severe depression and was thought to have Marfan syndrome, which affects bones, connective tissue and organs.

They are joined by John F. Kennedy (chronic back pain), Franklin D. Roosevelt (polio) and James Madison (epilepsy), as well as several with hearing impairments.

Having a disability is difficult, but it doesn’t have to prevent being successful at work and in your community. We support adults and students with disabilities prepare for, find, and advance in meaningful employment. Contact us at https://vrnevada.nv.gov/
