The New York State Office for the Aging (NYSOFA) and the Association on Aging in New York (AgingNY) have partnered with Trualta to offer a web-based caregiver education and support platform at no cost to any unpaid caregiver in New York State.
There are an estimated 4.1 million caregivers in New York State who provide 2.68 billion hours of unpaid care. Sixty-one percent worry about caring for a loved one, and 70 percent reported at least one mental health symptom during the pandemic. Trualta teaches critical skills to reduce caregiver stress levels and increase confidence in one's caregiving abilities.
Caregivers can access these services at the Caregiver Portal. Instructions on how to create an account are available on the portal.
