National Alliance for Caregiving for Friday, January 12, 2018
ENGAGING CAREGIVERS ACROSS THE LIFESPAN
Family Caregivers may be the largest non-elder stakeholder in the aging network, but they are also much more. At a population of nearly 44 million, caregivers are generally one of the largest constituent groups in the United States. If mobilized and prepped for advocacy, caregivers would have an incredibly dominant voice on the national stage when it comes to setting policies and practices that benefit not only themselves, but also those they care for every day.
The National Alliance for Caregiving is leading the way to engage and leverage this powerful voice for policy change, and we want you to join us in doing so.
Presentation Topics Include:
- Building Capacity to Support Caregivers Across the Lifespan
- Caregiver-Friendly Communities
- The 21st Century Workforce in a 21st Century Workplace
- Mapping the Caregiver Journey
- Workshop: Next Steps for Caregiver Advocacy
