RCI and NIRN Partner for 2008 National Conference

Raising the Bar: Evidence-Based Programs
for Caregivers

At our 2008 conference, scheduled for October 23 & 24, 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 resources, ideas and practical strategies to help you “raise the bar” and set a new standard for how caregivers are supported by your agency and community.

RCI is partnering with NIRN (The National Implementation Research Network) , a national leader in teaching others how to implement evidence based programs. Together, RCI and NIRN will identify the key issues facing agencies and strategies to assure success in adopting new programs in your agency. Presenters will be leading experts and practitioners involved in implementing 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 for caregivers.
