Advancing Caregiver Support in Cancer Care: Initial Results from the INCITE Training Program
Family caregivers play a vital role in supporting individuals living with cancer, yet many healthcare organizations continue to face challenges in effectively integrating caregiver support into routine care. As recognition of caregivers’ contributions grows, so does the need for practical strategies that translate evidence into sustainable programs and practice.
Join Allison Applebaum, PhD, FAPOS, Director of the Steven S. Elbaum Family Center for Caregiving, and J. Nicholas Odom, PhD, RN, University of Alabama at Birmingham, for a discussion of the INcreasing Caregiver Support Implementation through Training and Education (INCITE) Training Program, a national initiative designed to help cancer center teams strengthen their capacity to implement evidence-informed caregiver support practices. Through training, technical assistance, and organizational change strategies, INCITE aims to advance the integration of family caregiver support into routine cancer care.
During this webinar, speakers will share early findings from the INCITE Training Program and discuss insights from participating cancer centers. The conversation will explore implementation successes and challenges, lessons learned, and promising opportunities for embedding caregiver support more effectively within cancer care delivery. Participants will gain practical insights into how healthcare organizations can move from recognizing the importance of family caregivers to building sustainable systems that support them.
