BOSTON, Nov. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ARCHANGELS, a women-owned, omni-channel platform supporting the 43% of adults serving as unpaid caregivers in the US, surveyed caregivers across the nation to understand the impact the holiday season is having on all aspects of their health. The results confirm the massive opportunity that exists to ramp up support for this essential population during what is dubbed the "most wonderful time" of the year but often feels just the opposite. In fact, 40% of caregivers are extremely concerned the holidays could actually harm their mental health, and 1 in 4 would rather just skip the holidays all together.
