Making the Link:
Connecting Caregivers with Services through Physicians
Making the Link: Connecting Caregivers with Services through Physicians is designed to strengthen the ability of Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) and Title VI Native American aging programs to serve family caregivers through a local, state and national campaign that will directly involve physicians in identifying caregivers and referring them to National Family Caregiver Support Program (NFSCP) services. Making the Link is supported in part by a grant from the U.S. Administration on Aging.
The project's objectives are to: 1) provide the strategies and tools AAA and Title VI programs need to collaborate with local physicians to help them identify caregivers and direct them to services; 2) promote within the medical community the concept that caregiving can present a health risk and increase awareness among physicians of the important health care role played by family caregivers; and 3) enhance the ability of physicians to connect caregivers with NFSCP services.
