Teleconference:
Building and Sustaining State Respite Coalitions
February 8, 2011
The purpose of this call was to hold a facilitated discussion (Q&A) with leaders of well-established state respite coalitions to answer questions about how to get started, vision and mission statements, coalition structure, membership, and sustainability. A similar face-to-face discussion was started at the Lifespan Respite Grantee/Partner meeting last October in Baltimore and great interest was shown in continuing the discussion. For more information see ARCH State Respite Coalitions: A Compendium of State Fact Sheets, Updated 2010, and the ARCH workbook, Building A State Respite Coalition: Where do we Begin?
Presenters: Phyllis Stephenson, North Carolina Respite Care Coalition; Kelly Tipler, Tennessee Respite Coalition; MaryJo Alimena-Caruso, Pennsylvania Respite Coalition; and Gina Ervay, Kansas Lifespan Respite Coalition (1.5 hours)

Respite in the Faith Community
 |
The shortage of respite providers continues to be a significant barrier to respite access in many communities. At the same time, government funding for social services is shrinking. Turning to the private volunteer sector for assistance makes increasing sense. The faith-based community has a long history of supporting family caregivers through respite and can offer assurances to family caregivers who are often reluctant to ask for help or mistrustful of other outside agencies.

Tools for Collaboration: Building and Sustaining Partnerships for Lifespan Respite
 |
At the heart of Lifespan Respite is the concept of collaboration. Throughout the Lifespan Respite Care Act, and in the federal program guidance, references are made to collaboration and coordination among various stakeholders at the federal, state and local levels. This webinar will explore the history, successes, and challenges of collaboration among state agencies, state respite coalitions, and Aging and Disability Resource Centers. While the lessons to be learned will be most useful for those directly involved in planning and implementation of State Lifespan Respite programs and state respite coalitions, others working in social service, long-term services and supports, and health systems will benefit as well.

Making Respite More Effective
|
Dr. Dale Lund discusses practice and policy suggestions that might enhance caregivers’ use of respite time and discusses how to measure outcomes related to respite time-use.
In 2009, Dr. Dale Lund presented at the National Respite Conference in California on respite time-use suggesting that family caregivers’ use of respite time was a determining factor in the extent to which the family caregiver benefits from the respite received. While Dr. Lund has been researching the benefits of respite for many years, his recent study published in the Journal of Applied Gerontology (February 28, 2011) found that employed caregivers were generally more satisfied with respite time-use than nonemployed caregivers. Dr. Lund is also a coauthor of the very thoughtful guidebook for family caregivers, RESPITE SERVICES: Enhancing the Quality of Daily Life for Caregivers and Care Receivers (updated, 2010 in English & 2011 in Spanish). Presented by the Family Caregiver Alliance and the ARCH Technical Assistance Cente?rs on Caregiving and Lifespan Respite.

Marketing Respite to Family Caregivers: Moving Beyond Awareness
 |
Successful Lifespan Respite programs build public awareness and encourage family caregivers and others to action on behalf of respite. But before you book that billboard space, write that pharmacy bag ad, or record your radio PSA, it’s important to be clear on who you want to reach, what you want them to do, and why they might not already be doing it. Alicia Blater, the North Carolina Lifespan Respite Project Director, who worked for 10+ years in public relations and marketing, will walk us through the basics to prepare us to be more successful at implementing the subtleties of messaging and marketing. Alicia will talk about the benefits and barriers our target audiences may be experiencing as they see and hear messages about caregiver services, and present one possible approach to help you develop your own messages. This is especially critical for respite, which is already encumbered by misunderstandings and limited exposure among family caregivers, professionals and the public. This webinar will be most useful for Lifespan Respite Grantees and their partners. Click here.
