Faith community nurses are uniquely equipped to meet this call by developing programs, educational initiatives, research, and policymaking. Information, tools, and resources about integrating an age-friendly vision of caregiving with the faith community will be provided.     

  OBJECTIVES:  At the end of this session participants will:

  • be able to identify four potential ways faith community nurses can support family caregivers.
  • be able to articulate two barriers to caregiver support in the faith community
  • be able to identify two ways in which caregivers become disconnected from the faith community because of caregiving responsibilities
