2024-10-10 09:55:49

To better address the health and needs of working caregivers, the government and social organizations can refer to the following framework when formulating social policies:

1. Physical health

Caregivers may neglect their own physical health while caring for family members. The government or social organizations can offer simple health checks to encourage them to take care of their bodies.


2. Mental health
Caregivers may experience mental stress due to their responsibilities. The government and social organizations can provide support services for caregivers, such as counseling, to help them reduce stress.


3. Social needs

Build social networks for caregivers and encourage them to seek support in the community and to support and encourage each other.


4. Financial support

Offer financial support for family caregivers, e.g. in the form of care allowance, to ease their financial burden.


5. Life planning

Offer various training programs for caregivers to help them realize that there are more options for their future.
