The research was conducted for NAC by Greenwald & Associates, with study direction by Lisa Weber-Raley.
This report outlines findings from the research study On Pins and Needles: Caregivers of Adults with Mental Illness. This is a study of 1,601 caregivers ages 18 or older who provide care to an adult with serious-to-moderate emotional or mental health issues, from data collected in September 2015. The purpose of this study is to describe the experiences and challenges of this targeted subset of caregivers. While much research on mental illness has been done from the perspective of the person with mental illness (in our study, the care recipient), as well as mental health care providers, this study aims to fill the gap in understanding from the perspective of a key piece of the care team – the unpaid caregiver.
