SUMMARY:Advancing Caregiver Support in Cancer Care: Initial Results from the INCITE Training Program
DESCRIPTION: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. \nJoin 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. \nDuring 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. \nSpeakers:\nAllison J. Applebaum\, PhD\, FAPOS\, Director\, Steven S. Elbaum Family Center for Caregiving\, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai\nYadira Montoya\, MSPH\, Senior Director of Health Programs\, National Alliance for Caregiving\nJ. Nicholas Odom\, PhD\, RN\, ACHPN\, FPCN\, FAAN\, Associate Professor\, The University of Alabama at Birmingham\nCarrie Severson\, Writer\, Speaker\, Advocate\, Caregiver \nDownload PDF

SUMMARY:Closing the Dementia Diagnosis Gap: What the ASAP Act Means for Family Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:Family caregivers are at the center of nearly every healthcare journey\, yet their voices are too often missing from the policies that shape healthcare access\, affordability\, and innovation. Join the National Alliance for Caregiving as we launch our new Healthcare Access\, Affordability & Innovation Policy Agenda and kick off a series of educational opportunities exploring how healthcare policy can better support family caregivers as essential partners in care and as current and future patients. \nOur first session\, hosted in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Impact Movement (AIM)\, will focus on the Alzheimer’s Screening and Prevention (ASAP) Act\, bipartisan legislation that would expand Medicare coverage for FDA-authorized early detection screening tests for Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias\, including blood-based biomarker tests. Learn why earlier detection matters\, not only for individuals living with dementia\, but also for family caregivers\, who benefit from more time to understand a diagnosis\, participate in care decisions\, plan for future needs\, and connect with resources and supports. \nSpeakers:\nRachel Conant\, Executive Director\, Alzheimer’s Impact Movement\nJason Resendez\, President and CEO\, National Alliance for Caregiving \nFeaturing Videos From:\nThe Honorable Susan Collins\, United States Senator (ME)\nEmma Heming Willis\, Author and Care Partner

SUMMARY:Your Story Matters: Supporting Family Caregivers Across the Cancer-to-Transplant Continuum
DESCRIPTION:The National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC) and Transplant Journey are partnering to host an interactive listening session on cancer-related transplant caregiving. This session will explore the experience\, challenges\, and needs of family caregivers supporting individuals undergoing or who have received a transplant related to their cancer treatment. The purpose of the session is to hear directly from caregivers\, and insights gathered will help shape Cancer Caregiving Collaborative efforts to strengthen the integration of caregivers into health care delivery\, particularly in high-intensity treatment contexts where caregiver involvement is critical to outcomes. \nRegister Now
