THE CARE BADGE
Translating skills into opportunities.
43% of adults in the U.S. are serving as unpaid caregivers. Across every demographic, we’re showing up for each other and doing the best we can to take care in all the ways we’re needed — AND building a valuable set of skills while doing so.
ARCHANGELS and The Joint Commission have joined forces to create a badge that translates those skills into opportunities — one that sends the message to the world that in this care economy, “I know how to care.”
The Care Badge can be displayed anywhere and everywhere — shared on social media, added to a resume or job application — connecting caregivers to a movement shouting from the rooftops that unpaid caregivers know how to get things done.
With long-term implications for workforce development, upward-mobility, recruitment and retention, the Care Badge is just the beginning of connecting the talent pool that is unpaid caregivers with employers across all sectors of the economy to create top and bottom-line impact.

About ARCHANGELS
ARCHANGELS is a women-owned, omni-channel platform hustling to make change happen for unpaid caregivers across the nation. Their Caregiver Intensity Index (CII) is a proprietary tool designed to engage all caregivers, even those who do not see themselves in the role. The platform provides each caregiver with a ‘score’ that not only validates their care experience, but crosswalks them over to the resources that exist but go underutilized — often from lack of awareness.
ARCHANGELS works with states, employers, brands, health systems, and local organizations to create impact for unpaid caregivers and their communities, drive ROI in a low-lift high-impact way, and to amplify and support policy and advocacy efforts with data and stories generated through these initiatives. ARCHANGELS is part of the Rebel Health family, an organization that is working to expand our definition of health to include life — because when life goes wrong health goes wrong. Other Rebel Health initiatives include Engage with Grace and the ‘Who Cares?’ podcast.
