Making the Case: Saving Your State's Caregiver Support Programs

Talking Points to Advocates, Administrators, Providers and Caregivers


States are currently struggling with one of the deepest recessions on record. As a result, funding for essential services, including family caregiver support programs, has been reduced or, in the worst cases, eliminated.

This paper is intended to help advocates, program administrators, service providers and caregivers fight for their state and local caregiver support programs. It includes background information, statistics, talking points and a list of additional resources to help make the case for maintaining public funding for crucial caregiver support services.
