Webinar: CHRT Policy Analytics Director Robyn Rontal offers webinar on policy solutions to support family caregivers
In this hour-long webinar by Policy Analytics Director Robyn Rontal, viewers will learn about the current state of informal and family caregiving in the U.S., factors that impact caregiver stress, and a variety of policy solutions to support caregivers.
Rontal discusses the prevalence of family caregiving and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on caregivers and families. She presents research showing that almost 40 percent of caregivers find their caregiving situation to be emotionally stressful, and shares examples of strategies to address these problems with policies at the local, state, and national level.
With family caregiving so prevalent and so taxing, it is essential that health systems develop strategies to support unpaid caregivers. This support requires adjustements at the policy level. As a policy analyst, Robyn Rontal discusses what those solutions for family caregivers could look like in this webinar.
