Policy initiatives in Europe aimed at supporting unpaid carers are like „admiring a few brushstrokes of an unfinished painting“ says Stecy Yghemonos, Eurocarers Director. „Much more needs done to finish the bigger picture“ @Eurocarers_info @MIPAA20Rome @UNECE
EUROCARERS is the European network representing informal carers and their organisations, irrespective of their age or the particular health and care need of the person they are caring for.
Our aim is to advance the issue of informal care at both national and EU levels by:
- RAISING AWARENESS OF THE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION MADE BY CARERS to health and social care systems and the economy as a whole, and of the need to safeguard this contribution;
- ENSURING THAT EU AND NATIONAL POLICIES TAKE ACCOUNT OF CARERS, i.e. promote social inclusion of carers, the development of support services for carers, enable them to remain active in paid employment and maintain a social life.
Eurocarers is involved in the following projects
