I am happy to know that you have the latest edition of this
valuable resource. Caregiving presents a variety of rewards
and challenges. This guide is meant to assist those who
play the role of caregiver for someone. I hope that you find
the information contained in these pages of the 2017 Family
Caregiver Resource Guide helpful.
Many of us do not think of ourselves as caregivers. In reality,
many of us play that role. Each day, citizens of Albuquerque assist elders, people
who are suffering from an illness or individuals who have a disability. Some of us
voluntarily assumed the responsibility of caregiving, while others had no other choice
but to assume that role. I understand that although many rewards come with that role,
there are also some challenges. Caregiving requires a lot of energy and can sometimes
lead to exhaustion, stress, and depression. This resource is meant to help lessen some
of these conditions.

Recently, I became familiar
with Hidden Security
Heroes. The mission of this wonderful

organization is to bring vital attention to the untold stories of military caregivers and
seeks solutions for the tremendous challenges and long-term needs that they face.
The City of Albuquerque has recently become a Hidden Heroes city, and we hope to
continue to raise the awareness of the issues that confront military caregivers on a daily
basis. I would encourage you to visit www.hiddenheroes.org to learn more.
