In Utah, 450,000+ dedicated adults provide essential, unpaid care. While the holidays bring unique stress (especially for working caregivers), many report finding a deeper positivity in the season since becoming a caregiver. That resilience is incredible!

Support and resources for unpaid caregivers are available!

Important Announcement about Congress Constituent Services

When the government shuts down, it can be hard to get help from federal agencies like Social Security, Medicare, and Veterans Affairs. State and local programs that get money from the federal government, like food assistance (SNAP) and programs for seniors and people with disabilities, might also be affected. If you're having trouble reaching federal staff or getting the services you need, your federal elected officials can help. Members of Congress are supposed to help their constituents with issues involving federal agencies, and they can start a case for you.
