Why We Exist
Caring for caregivers—because every helping hand deserves one in return
At CAREGIVING AND YOU, everything we do is rooted in the belief that caregivers matter. This section shares the heart of our organization—our mission, our long-term vision, and the real-world impact we’re making in caregivers’ lives every day.
Our Mission
At CAREGIVING AND YOU, our mission is to provide compassionate support, practical guidance, and life-enhancing resources to those who dedicate their lives to caring for others. We are committed to helping caregivers build resilience, find community, and navigate the challenges of caregiving without losing themselves in the process. Through education, emotional support, and advocacy, we empower caregivers to care confidently—while also caring for themselves.
Our Vision
We envision a future where no caregiver feels alone or overwhelmed. In our ideal world, caregivers are equipped with the knowledge they need, the emotional strength they deserve, and the community they crave. We aim to shift the culture around caregiving—elevating it, valuing it, and making sure that those who care are never left behind.
Our Impact
Changing lives by caring for those who care
Every day, we are making a difference in the lives of caregivers across the Bronx and beyond. Whether it’s through our workshops, one-on-one support sessions, or online resources, we help reduce stress, prevent burnout, and bring hope to those who need it most. By centering the caregiver experience, we’re not just offering help—we’re building a movement of empathy, empowerment, and lasting change.
Compassion for the caregivers. Strength for the journey.
At CAREGIVING AND YOU, our mission is simple—but deeply powerful:
To provide compassionate support, guidance, and resources to caregivers so they can care for others without sacrificing their own well-being.
We believe that caregivers are the unsung heroes of our communities—often overworked, under-supported, and quietly struggling behind closed doors. Whether they are caring for a parent, a child with special needs, a partner, or a friend, caregivers are the steady hands and beating hearts behind someone else’s health, comfort, and daily survival.
But who cares for the caregivers?
We do.
🌟 What Our Mission Means in Action
We’re here to ensure that no caregiver feels alone, invisible, or forgotten. Our mission comes to life through every workshop, every group session, every resource we create, and every conversation we have with someone who’s giving their all and still feels like it’s not enough.
We strive to:
- Educate caregivers with practical tools and strategies for navigating the caregiving journey—from managing stress to understanding medical care and planning daily routines.
- Support caregivers emotionally by providing a safe space to share their stories, access peer-led support groups, and feel understood and validated.
- Connect caregivers to a broader community so they can build meaningful relationships, reduce isolation, and access additional help when needed.
- Empower caregivers to prioritize their own well-being, set healthy boundaries, and recognize that their health and happiness matter, too.
💬 Why This Mission Matters
Caregiving can be both beautiful and heartbreaking. It’s a role taken out of love, but one that can come with exhaustion, grief, and burnout. Too often, caregivers suffer in silence, pushing their needs aside because they feel there’s no other option.
At CAREGIVING AND YOU, we want to rewrite that narrative.
Our mission is not just to support the act of caregiving, but to transform the experience of caregiving—into one where care and compassion flow both ways.
By showing up for caregivers, we strengthen families.
By educating and empowering them, we create healthier communities.
And by honoring their sacrifice, we restore dignity and balance to their lives.
