The Transverse Myelitis Association is a proud member of the National Family Caregivers Association (NFCA). We have established a link to the NFCA from the bottom of the main page of our web site. We support NFCA’s effort to “Share the Caring” and acknowledge National Family Caregivers Month as an opportunity to provide community-based activities in support of family caregivers. NFC Month is designed to raise awareness that will help people recognize and appreciate the caregivers’ vital role.  The goal is to build caregiver self-esteem, expand caregiver self-awareness and teach caregivers to become their own advocates.

Please join us in celebrating National Family Caregivers Month.  Please contact the NFCA for information regarding caregiver issues, including effective ways for communicating with your physicians.
