Description

Respite support for working family caregivers is vital over the next 30 years. The aging of the baby boomer population will impact the availability and increase the need of respite providers. The Respite Employer Engagement Initiative demonstrates how to connect with working caregivers at their workplace, while the Respite Service Learning Certificate Program provides needed training for respite providers and builds the respite direct care work force.
