More than a third of the sandwich generation feel overlooked by society
A poll of 2,000 adults found 44% of the sandwich generation always put others first and 67% say caregiving has hurt their mental health.
Ahead of National Carers Week, a new OnePoll survey of 2,000 adults found that 44 per cent of the sandwich generation always put others before themselves.
Nearly half admit to having less time than they desire, with 67 per cent reporting mental health impacts and 51 per cent feeling stressed as a result.
AXA Health commissioned this research for its 'Cover that Cares' campaign, partnering with poet Hussain Manawer to capture how small gestures provide essential support.
Respondents identified that 45 per cent need someone to 'share the load,' 42 per cent value a listening ear, and 40 per cent identified a physical gesture.
The annual National Carers Week campaign begins June 8, with AXA Health CEO Heather Smith emphasizing the company's commitment to help remove burdens for those needing support.
