Making Invisible Care Visible: A New Approach to Supporting the Whole Lives of Family Caregivers
Published
On September 15, 2026, the Health Policy Global Institute (HGPI) held its 144th HGPI Seminar. Titled "Making Invisible Care Visible to Build the Future of Support," the seminar discussed the growing diversity of challenges faced by families and the potential of tailor-made support.
In family caregiving, there is much work that is rarely recorded in care records. At this seminar, it was emphasized that rather than looking only at care records, it is important to understand the overall lives of the families who provide care. By understanding the burdens and living circumstances of caregivers, it is believed that the areas where support is needed become easier to see.
The shapes of families and the circumstances of caregiving have become more diverse than before. As a result, it has become difficult to provide support in the same way for everyone. Tailor-made support refers to the approach of designing support content to suit the circumstances of each individual or family. The potential of such support was raised at the seminar.
Establishing mechanisms to grasp care that is hard to see has become an important theme in considering the future direction of support. Detailed contents of the seminar can be checked in the event report published by the Health Policy Global Institute.
