We Support Caregivers, Inc. (Formerly known as Caregivers Supporting Caregivers Network)
We Support Caregivers, Inc. is a faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization 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 vision is to empower caregivers to live balanced and fulfilling lives by embracing Christian-based principles that encourage self-care as a priority. Caregivers often place the needs of others ahead of their own, and while this commitment is meaningful, it can take a significant toll on their emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Without intentional care for themselves, many face increased risks of depression, anxiety, and even suicide, challenges that are far too common within the caregiving community.
We believe self-care is not selfish. It is essential. It strengthens caregivers in many ways, including:
💛 Helping them maintain healthier relationships with themselves and others
💭 Encouraging positive thoughts
💪 Building confidence and self-worth
😌 Reducing stress and preventing burnout
😊 Increasing joy and overall well-being
At We Support Caregivers, we are committed to helping caregivers care for themselves with the same compassion they offer to others. Through our supportive programs, workshops, coaching, and community resources, we guide caregivers toward healthier routines, emotional healing, and renewed strength. We believe that caring well for others begins with caring well for oneself. This is not a luxury. It is the foundation of sustainable caregiving.
