Innovations Clearinghouse on Family Caregiving

The National Center on Caregiving (NCC) at Family CaregiverAlliance(FCA) has launched the Innovations Clearinghouse on Family Caregiving, an online community promoting professional
knowledge around families in their caregiving role.

The goal of the Innovations Clearinghouse on Family Caregiving is to be an online community which will promote professional knowledge around families in their caregiving role.

This online community includes:

• a national, searchable repository of evidence-based interventions, policy efforts and emerging practices and tools with a primary focus on the support of family/informal caregivers;
• various interactive features that will offer educational and networking opportunities among professionals

The Innovations Clearinghouse primarily focuses on professionals seeking outcome producing practices and tools aiming to support informal caregiving.

The target audience for this project comprises policy developers and advocates, social workers, nurses and other related professionals working in the fields of health and social services.

Family/informal caregivers looking to educate themselves on emerging approaches to dealing with caregiver issues are also welcome to join this online community and explore its various pages.

Finally, students, researchers and anyone concerned about the issues facing families in their caregiving role, will find this site useful and educational.
