National Family Caregivers Month Twitter Chat Hosted by NASHP
The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) is hosting a Twitter chat on November 19 to recognize National Family Caregivers Month.
Across the nation, state health programs depend on caregivers who provide critical support to help relatives, friends, and neighbors stay safely in their homes while contributing $470 billion in unpaid health care services each year. Family caregivers reduce the need for home health services and can delay hospitalizations and nursing home care.
This Twitter chat will explore how states can provide flexibility, support, and resources to address caregiver needs through effective policy changes. The chat will cover the following topics:
- Challenges/barriers that family caregivers face
- Family caregiving during the pandemic
- State innovations to support family caregivers
- How policymakers can improve education, training, and counseling for family caregivers
- Opportunities for the RAISE Family Caregiver Center and Council
How to participate:
- Follow @NASHPhealth on Twitter
