About the Research

How it Started

We are a Community

STACs started as a way to provide unpaid caregivers a platform where they can unburden their thoughts and express their deepest emotions, often hidden from the outside world. Caregiving, while undeniably a rewarding endeavor, can be fraught with many challenges that vary greatly from one individual to another; these can stem from physical, emotional, and financial stresses that unpaid caregivers face daily.

Studies have found that writing about your thoughts and feelings can reduce stress, enhance mental well-being, and promote physical health. For caregivers, who often face high levels of isolation and emotional fatigue, sharing your story ,even anonymously, can lighten the burden. 

More Than a Role

Caregiving is a profound experience that transforms lives. With moments of both joy and sorrow, unexpected challenges often bring overwhelming feelings of isolation, frustration, and anxiety.

A Safe Space to Share

STACs provides a platform where you can release your inner thoughts without judgment. Here, you can find comfort in the experiences of others and feel truly heard.
