Diverse Elders Coalition Training: Caring for Those Who Care - Meeting the Needs of Diverse Family Caregivers
The Diverse Elders Coalition (DEC) is offering a free training on September 21, "Caring for Those Who Care: Meeting the Needs of Diverse Family Caregivers."
The training is designed for healthcare, social service and aging professionals who want to better serve diverse family caregivers and older adults. The DEI-centered training highlights the lived experiences of unpaid caregivers for older adults from the following communities:
- African American and Black Caregivers
- American Indian and Alaska Native Caregivers
- Chinese American and Korean American Caregivers
- Hispanic and Latino Caregivers
- Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Queer/Questioning and Transgender (LGBTQ+) Caregivers
- Southeast Asian American Caregivers
Training participants will be able to identify and address the unique experiences and needs of family caregivers from racially and ethnically diverse communities, American Indian and Alaska Native communities and LGBTQ+ communities. The training will help explore how a lack of culturally and linguistically appropriate services impact family caregiver experiences and their health outcomes. Those who attend will deepen their cultural understanding and learn provider level best practices to better serve diverse caregivers and older adults. This training will not be recorded.
