Workshop 1: How Caregiver Support Organizations Can Assist Caregivers in your Community

Description: Over 37 million people provide unpaid care for older adults each year. Most falling between the ages of 45 - 64. How do you best support these family caregivers who are likely participating in your evidence-based programs? Join us for a panel discussion with Caregiver Action Network, Family Caregiver Alliance, and National Alliance for Caregivers to learn about their programs and how you can connect caregivers to additional services and supports.

Series Description:

This 3-part series hosted by NCOA's Center for Healthy Aging will focus on person- and family-centered, trauma-informed services and supports for caregivers. Throughout the series participants will have an opportunity to learn more about national caregiver programs, evidence-based programs specific to caregivers, and network with developers and fellow providers implementing caregiver evidence-based programing.

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe the work of national caregiver organizations and how they can support caregivers engaged in your evidence-based programing
2. Explain how evidence-based caregiver support programs can have a positive impact on participants.
3. Apply strategies to support caregivers in your community.
