Guiding caregivers with support and referrals
Nudge gives caregivers actionable guidance, emotional support strategies, and pathways to access their own mental health care when needed.
The hidden burden of caregiving
Family caregivers provide 34 billion hours of unpaid care annually in the US. Most have no formal training, no emotional support system, and no structured path to their own mental health care.
Caregiver burnout leads to poorer outcomes for everyone involved. When caregivers struggle silently, the patients they support suffer too.
Americans serving as family caregivers
63 million Americans are family caregivers, spending an average of 25 hours per week and $7,242 out of pocket annually, providing $600 billion in unpaid labor.
AARP / National Alliance for Caregiving, 2025Caregivers struggle balancing work and duties
