The Community Care Unit (UCC) Almoreg, in Reguengos de Monsaraz, marked the Informal Caregiver Day on November 5th with a gathering dedicated to sharing experiences and promoting well-being.

The event, held at the António Marcelino Auditorium in the Municipal Library of Reguengos de Monsaraz, was promoted in partnership with the Municipality of Reguengos de Monsaraz, the Social Security, and the Family Health Unit (USF) REMO. The aim was to recognize and value the fundamental role of informal caregivers in supporting dependent individuals, raising awareness of the challenges associated with this responsibility.
The initiative also highlighted the importance of caring for those who care, addressing the physical exhaustion, emotional overload, and social isolation that can accompany this role. The creation of meeting and support spaces was pointed out as an opportunity to enhance the recognition of caregivers and promote their well-being.

"Promoting these moments focused on the informal caregiver ensures that the person being cared for receives the necessary assistance and that the informal caregiver feels valued."
