CAPC Launches New Caregiver Support Program Implementation Toolkit
As part of CAPC's Caregiver Support Initiative, CAPC has launched its new Caregiver Support Program Implementation Toolkit, in collaboration with the Stephen S. Elbaum Family Center for Caregiving at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

- Strategies to help program leaders make a compelling case for investing in caregiver support services within their organization
- Resources to guide the design, launch, and growth of an evidence-based caregiver support program for those caring for people living with serious illness
- Tools to ensure the financial sustainability of organization-based caregiver support programs
- Courses and resources to help clinicians build the skills needed to support caregiver well-being
- Thought leadership pieces and clinical capacity-building tools to strengthen caregiver support programs
