Addressing Unmet Family Caregiving Needs in Diverse Older Communities, Implementation Phase

Grant Summary

To address the lack of culturally and linguistically appropriate support for family and friend caregivers from different populations, the Diverse Elders Coalition will launch a training curriculum to educate health care and social service providers who want to better meet the needs of diverse family caregivers. Building on a prior phase that included a comprehensive literature review, focus groups with diverse caregivers, and a nationwide caregiving survey, the initiative will also provide resources and support directly to caregivers through a series of listening sessions and educate national and local policy makers about programs and policies that would improve the well-being of diverse caregivers and enhance their ability to provide care.
