JAHF Briefing Recording: From The Campaign To Concrete Solutions - How Policymakers Can Support Family Caregivers
The John A. Hartford Foundation (JAHF) held a virtual, nonpartisan briefing on December 5 that detailed policy options the incoming administration should consider to better support family caregivers. The slides from the briefing are available for download.
Across political identity, race, income, geography and more, supermajorities of people support policies to help family caregivers. More than 50 million people in the United States provide unpaid hands-on care for older adults with little to no support, often while working fulltime and taking care of their own children. There is growing understanding of the challenges family caregivers face and the support they need based on the progress of the 2022 National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers.
Policymakers, advocates, researchers, and the public were invited to participate in this dialogue featuring the National Alliance for Caregiving, which provided updates on progress and concrete policy opportunities to support caregivers.
Speakers included:
- Terry Fulmer, PhD, RN, FAAN, President, JAHF
- Rani E. Snyder, MPA, Vice President, Program, JAHF
- Jason Resendez, President and CEO, National Alliance for Caregiving
- Robert Blancato, MPA, President, Matz, Blancato and Associates
