A new guide, produced by USAging in collaboration with the Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network, provides links to no-cost training resources that AAAs and Title VI programs can access to learn about the mental health needs of kinship/grandfamilies. A 2022 topical poll, conducted by USAging for the Network, found that 33 percent of AAA and Title VI program respondents sought additional training on this topic. https://ow.ly/V0LY50SJbyv

Together, we are ensuring that all people can age well. Our members are the local leaders that develop, coordinate and deliver a wide range of home and community-based services to support people to age well, including information and referral/assistance, case management, home-delivered and congregate meals, in-home services, caregiver supports, transportation, evidence-based health and wellness programs, long-term care ombudsman programs and more.
