(Formerly known as Caregivers Supporting Caregivers Network)
We Support Caregivers, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Our mission is to encourage and empower individuals who care for their elderly loved ones — whether parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or spouses living with chronic illness — to prioritize and cultivate intentional self-care.
We are committed to supporting caregivers both locally and beyond, reminding them that self-care is not a luxury — it’s a necessity.
Because self-care is the best care. Self-care is self-love.
We believe that when caregivers focus on nurturing their physical, spiritual, emotional, mental, and social well-being, they not only care better for others — they become the best version of themselves.
Let us walk alongside you as you learn to care for yourself with the same love and grace you give to others.
We believe the way caregivers care for themselves is a reflection of the love they have for themselves — and it directly influences how they care for and love others.
Self-care is the intentional practice of nurturing one’s physical, spiritual, mental, emotional, and social well-being through consistent, mindful actions. It’s not optional — it’s essential.
Caregivers are the backbone of families and communities, and more individuals are stepping into this role every day, often unexpectedly and without support. That’s why We Support Caregivers, Inc. was created — by caregivers, for caregivers — to offer encouragement, resources, and community.
We are a mission-driven organization that values diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are committed to building leadership and teams that reflect a wide range of skills, experiences, and backgrounds.
We believe that inclusivity strengthens our ability to serve caregivers with excellence — both locally and globally.

Our goal is to encourage caregivers to live a balanced and fulfilling life by applying non-denominational, Christian-based principles that inspire them to make self-care a priority.
Caregivers often sacrifice their own needs while caring for others, and while their dedication is admirable, it can come at a high cost. Prolonged self-neglect is linked to increased risks of depression, anxiety, and even suicide — all of which are significantly prevalent within the caregiving community.
We believe self-care is not selfish — it is essential. It helps caregivers:
💛 Maintain healthier relationships with themselves and others
💭 Cultivate positive thoughts
💪 Boost self-esteem
😌 Reduce stress and burnout
😊 Increase joy and overall well-being
At We Support Caregivers, we believe that in order to care well for others, caregivers must first care well for themselves. It’s not a luxury — it’s the foundation of sustainable caregiving.
