The Caregiver Support Program offers free support for private individuals that provide care to an older loved one, friend or neighbor or for a Kinship Caregiver who is raising children that are not their own, such as a grandparent, aunt, uncle, cousin or a family friend. Individual consultations, one-on-one skills training, speakers for any size groups, educational courses, lending library and literature help increase knowledge and ability to provide better care for a longer time. Care planning and subsidized case-managed assistance with professional in-home services are available to provide relief and safety for caregivers. AAA 9 offers support for caregivers and is your one-stop-shop for all your caregiving needs including: information and assistance, individual consultations, one-on-one skills training and a multi-media lending library. Speakers are available to inform your group about PASSPORT, aging issues, caregiving issues, aging advocacy or any other topic related to aging. Schedule an AAA 9 professional to speak to your employees, church groups, service organization or other groups free of charge. AAA 9 can also customize a workshop to educate caregivers on a number of topics including: “Stress and Burnout in Caregiving", “Living With Alzheimer's", and many others.
