Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter’s Caregiving History

For more than 35 years, the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers (RCI) has been a quiet disrupter – influencing policy, forging partnerships, and doling out resources to those who need them most. 11Alive’s Christie Diez spoke with RCI CEO, Dr. Jennifer Olsen about our work to help a population close to Mrs. Carter’s heart, caregivers.

The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers has formally merged with The Carter Center, now functioning under its Mental Health Program.  

By uniting the work of these organizations — both rooted in Mrs. Carter’s lifelong vision and leadership — we are taking concrete steps to expand support, champion policies, and develop innovative solutions for the millions of family caregivers who dedicate their lives to caring for loved ones. 

Together, we will ensure that caregivers and individuals facing mental health challenges are seen, heard, and supported — now and in the future.
