Meetings of ACL Caregiver Advisory Councils to Take Place Next
Week – Agendas Now Available!
The Administration for Community Living is hosting the first
meetings of the advisory councils established by the
Recognize, Assist, Include, Support and Engage (RAISE) Family Caregivers
Act and the Supporting Grandparents Raising Grandchildren (SGRG) Act next week.
Both meetings are taking place on August 28 - 29 at the
Holiday Inn—Washington Capitol, located at 550 C Street SW, Washington, DC
20024. The meetings are open to the public (registration required)
and will be live-streamed.
The newly
available agendas, a complete list of council members, as
well as schedules and registration instructions, are at ACL.gov/RAISE
and ACL.gov/SGRG.
The RAISE Family
Caregiving Advisory Council is charged with providing
recommendations on effective models of family caregiving and support to
family caregivers, as well as improving coordination across federal
government programs. These recommendations will support the development and
execution of a national family caregiving strategy.
The Advisory
Council to Support Grandparents Raising Grandchildren will
identify, coordinate, and promote information, resources, and best
practices available to help grandparents and other older relatives meet the
needs of the children in their care, while also maintaining their own
physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Each council is comprised of members of the public selected
based on demonstrated knowledge, qualifications, and professional or
personal experience with the issues each council will address. In addition,
each includes representatives from federal organizations that play a role
in these issues.
