Caregivers Coalition

Summary of Our Work

Caregivers are found in every community in the world, caring for loved ones of all ages with chronic illnesses or disabilities.  Family, friends, or neighbors may care for an aging parent, a sibling with mental illness, or a child or spouse with a disability.  Caregivers may provide care full-time, part-time, or long distance.

While each caregiving situation is unique, all caregivers share the need for up to date information, easy access to resources, and available support.

United Way of Morris County formed the Caregivers Coalition of Morris County in 2005 to help improve the lives of caregivers. The mission of the Caregivers Coalition of Morris County is to promote knowledge of, sensitivity to, and action around caregiving issues.
