The National Family Caregivers Association (NFCA): NFCA is a grass roots organization created to educate, support, empower and speak up for the millions of Americans who care for chronically ill, aged or disabled loved ones. NFCA is the only constituency organization that reaches across the boundaries of different diagnoses, different relationships and different life stages to address the common needs and concerns of all family caregivers. More than one quarter (26.6%) of the adult population has provided care to a family member or friend during the past year. Based on current census data, that translates into more than 54 million people.

Through information and support groups, the organization address issues common to family caregivers: anger, guilt, fear, isolation, grief, and financial threat.
