Do you help take care of a family member, neighbor or friend ? 

The Equity in Caregiving project is looking for a diverse group of community members to share their experiences and insights as a family caregiver (any family, relative, partner, friend, or neighbor with significant personal relationships) for a person living with a chronic and/or serious illness.

We want to understand real-world caregiver experiences that affect your ability to support your ability to support your family member with a serious or chronic illness. These insights will inform the development of policies to improve caregiver support and resources.

Participation would include a short survey and interview that could last for up to 1 hour. Expert facilitators will create a safe, confidential space for participants to share their unique experiences.

We are looking for individuals from your community who are

• are at least 18 years old
• have experience as a caregiver for an adult with a serious illness
• Whose primary residence is in Massachusetts
• Whose primary language is English or Spanish

If you are interested, please fill out this survey and someone from our team will reach out to you: https://arcsapps.umassmed.edu/redcap/surveys/?s=JTMMR7PKNX
