USAging invites Aging Network providers and partners who are responsible for the administration of caregiver services and supports to register to join the national Caregiver Champion Collaborative (CCC).
With a purpose of facilitating and supporting peer networking and engagement for those leading caregiving services and supports, participants will gather regularly in an affinity group model to share successful strategies and best practices, discuss lessons learned, explore new partnerships and get insight into the latest research and emerging evidence-based programs. This effort is administered by USAging through the Innovations in Family Caregiver Services and Supports cooperative agreement from the Administration of Community Living (ACL).
Who can participate in the CCC?
Participants are likely to be leaders and managers from Aging Network providers and partner organizations, such as State Units on Aging, AAAs/Title VI Programs, aging service providers, caregiving service providers and others. Participants will have interest and experience in caregiver supports and services and may be responsible for programs funded through the National Family Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP, OAA Title III E), the Native American Caregiver Support Program (NACSP, OAA Title VI C), the Lifespan Respite Program, the Alzheimer’s Disease Prevention Programs Initiative or others. Others who work at the intersection of caregiving services and supports are also welcome to attend (e.g., a transportation or nutrition provider whose work impacts caregivers and with an interest in growing knowledge and networking).
What are the inclusion criteria?
The CCC will be a monitored and staff supported open format group with the inclusion criteria being that the group is comprised of staff responsible for the administration of caregiving services and support.
What is the meeting frequency?
The Caregiver Champion Collaborative will meet bi-monthly on Zoom. The CCC will be an ongoing collaborative and is expected to start around May 2024.
