Caregiver Corner

Please join ACL on Tuesday, June 10th from 12:30-2:00 p.m. ET for an aging network training opportunity to learn more about the National Caregiver Support Collaborative (NCSC), an innovative initiative offering resources and technical assistance to aging network organizations and key partners, including those serving tribal and kinship caregiver support networks.

Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with and hear from six featured NCSC grantees whose work aligns with national goals to increase the recognition, support, and inclusion of family, kin, and tribal caregivers across the country. Attendees will also learn about available resources and actionable tools to support service providers’ operational and programmatic needs.

This opportunity is open to aging network organizations and key partners, including aging and tribal services networks, state units on aging, area agencies on aging, tribes and tribal entities, and other local aging and family caregiver support providers. Learn more and register here.

The NCSC recently released a Checklist for Caregiver Assessments which provides a self-guided roadmap for aging, tribal, and kinship networks to advance the use of caregiver assessment in Older Americans Act caregiver programs.
