Abstract

There is growing recognition of the profound mental health challenges faced by the 53 million U.S. family caregivers, and the need for increased access to psychosocial care for this vulnerable population. Family caregivers are increasingly seeking support from hospital-based counseling centers. This trend-combined with a public policy landscape that promotes the delivery of caregiver-specific supports and services-highlights challenges faced by mental health professionals to provide and bill for psychosocial care to family caregivers. In this paper, we discuss three interrelated challenges that mental health professionals face in providing care to family caregivers and which our field needs to confront as healthcare transfers more responsibilities onto the shoulders of family caregivers: (1) caregiver burden is not recognized as a formal diagnosis; (2) current documentation for caregivers is typically linked to patient encounters; and (3) support for family caregivers occurs within larger systematic barriers to mental health integration. By accurately describing and documenting caregiver burden and advocating for increased parity in mental health coverage, we hope that the field can bridge the gap between emerging research, momentum in policy, and available psychosocial services for this vulnerable population.
