Caregiving

Caregivers are responsible for assisting others in their daily activities, whether it be a friend, spouse or other family member. Caregiving of others takes place across the lifespan. MSU Extension offers programs about disease self-management which provide valuable information for caregivers of those with chronic health conditions. Additional programs provide information for caregivers of babies, children and teens that promote healthy relationships so that they live, learn and grow in safe environments.
