TFAH Blog: What’s Public Health Got To Do With… Family Caregiving?
Trust for America's Health (TFAH) has published a blog, "What’s Public Health Got To Do With… Family Caregiving?," to launch it's new monthly blog series on Age-Friendly Public Health Systems.
TFAH's Age-Friendly Public Health Systems (AFPHS) blog series, “What’s Public Health Got to Do With It . . . Healthy Aging?”, is designed to stir up conversation, generate interest, and challenge healthy aging stakeholders to engage more deeply in age-friendly public health issues.
Author of this month's blog on "What’s Public Health Got To Do With… Family Caregiving?," Megan Wolfe, TFAH's Senior Policy Development Manager, outlines five potential roles for public health departments to support caregivers, organized according to TFAH’s AFPHS 5Cs Framework. The roles include collecting and disseminating data, coordinating existing supports and services, connecting and convening multiple sectors, communicating, and complementing existing supports.
