Grants Being Awards for Community College Caregiver Training Programs
The Caregiving Project for Older Americans, a project of International Longevity Center-USA and with funding from the Met-Life Foundation , will award up to twelve $25,000 grants to community colleges to establish new caregiver training programs or to build upon existing programs. They hope "to encourage the development of new and novel programs to train both family and professional in-home caregivers, promote skill development, advance the quality of care, and provide opportunities for career development." The deadline for submissions is May 15, 2008. Applications can be downloaded here, or view the press release.

What a great idea. As a former primary family caregiver, I believe there are a lot of situations that had to be handled under stress and fatigue that I never saw coming. I also read so many stories about caregivers abusing chronically ill or elders. I believe some of this is due to learning on the job under very difficult circumstances.
