2008 Summit to Focus on "Raising the Bar" in Caregiver Support
RCI's Conference will Help Agencies Implement Caregiver Support Programs that Work
The 2007 RCI National Summit: Moving Science to Practice in Caregiver Support was a big success, uniting researchers with service providers and demonstrating that a significant body of effective programs and practices for supporting caregivers is available for widespread dissemination. In our 2008 Summit, we’ll take the next step, providing a “road map” for how to practically move toward an evidence-based approach in supporting caregivers. You’ll leave the 2008 conference with a wealth of resources, ideas and practical suggestions designed to help you “raise the bar” and set a new standard for how caregivers are supported by your agency and community.
Presenters will be leading experts and practitioners involved in implementing effective caregiver support programs in communities around the country. “How-To” workshops, case studies, and collaborative planning opportunities will make this the one conference you must attend if you are serious about implementing evidence-based programs.
Don’t miss RCI’s 2008 National Summit, scheduled for October 23 & 24 at Georgia Southwestern State University in Americus, Georgia. Save the date on your calendar now, and continue checking the RCI website, www.rosalynncarter.org for more information and conference details.
