| Description |
| The Family Support Center of New Jersey is pleased to announce the 2008 National Caregivers Conference. Our conference will concentrate on the critical importance of caregivers. This year, we are coordinating a conference that will direct caregivers towards information on easily accessible, cost effective supports to all populations, regardless of age or disability. Knowledge of available resources can help to alleviate the stress associated with caregiving, sustain families and marriages, improve caregivers' health and well being, reduce the risk of abuse and neglect, and minimize or delay the need for more costly out-of-home placement. The conference will also serve as a networking session for parents to gain social supports and help them realize that they are not alone. |

| Description |
| The needs of today's seniors will be dramatically eclipsed by the demands of aging boomers, whose sheer numbers will shake the foundation of aging services and government entitlement programs.
Our nation's funding mechanisms, housing models, care paradigms, and public policies are ill equipped to address the challenges implied by the seismic shift in this demographic.
Join some of our nation's leading health care innovators, policy makers, and service providers to help drive the monumental sea change that must occur in aging services.
