Resources

AoA’s NFCSP Resource Guide has been designed to offer practical information to the aging network to help implement the new caregiver program.  It features possible implementation strategies and approaches, based on current research and practice, that network staff may consider in carrying out the NFCSP.

The Guide was developed by The Lewin Group who drew on a number of resources, including:

1. Technical Advisory Group comprising researchers and aging network representatives;


2. Issue Briefs commissioned by AoA from prominent researchers and staff of the aging network;


3. AoA’s September 2001 National Family Caregiver Support Program: From Enactment to Action Conference during which more than 700 participants shared implementation information;
4. Site visits to five states (Maine, Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Washington) for discussions on implementation issues;


5. AoA listserv to disseminate research-based information and exchange program information among network staff; and


6. Extensive literature review on topics related to caregiving.
