Parents of children with disability may experience a variety of feelings and stressors as they raise their child and attempt to navigate the nuances of meeting the daily needs of the family.

Among Adult caregivers, caregiving is emotionally demanding and often takes a toll on mood, stress levels, and psychological well-being. Adult caregivers of older adults face a broad range of health challenges:

Mental: elevated stress, depression, and burnout

Physical: higher risk of poor health behaviors and possibly increased mortality

Social/Economic: isolation, work disruption, financial burdens

Variability: effects differ by caregiving intensity, gender, age, and available support

But with supportive interventions, social networks, and access to services, some negative outcomes can be mitigated — and many caregivers still find personal meaning in their roles.
