Register for the webinar on Wednesday, May 22 at 2 - 3:30 pm.
Culturally sensitive outreach to, and support for, diverse older adults and their families is an essential component of effective service delivery. Since 2015, ACL/AoA has been funding five national organizations to develop resources, training, and technical assistance to the aging services network and entities who work specifically with diverse populations to better meet the needs of their consumers. These organizations also provide direct outreach and support to older adults themselves on a range of issues. The organizations that make up ACL's Minority Resource Center Consortium include:
- National Caucus and Center on Black Aging, Inc.;
- National Indian Council on Aging, Inc.;
- SAGE: Advocacy & Services for LGBT Elders;
- National Asian Pacific Center on Aging; and
- Asociacion Nacional Pro Personas Mayores.
During this webinar, participants will learn about the work of the Consortium grantees, including the technical assistance and training they can provide to Senior Medicare Patrols (SMPs), State Health Insurance Assistance Programs (SHIPs), and Medicare Improvement for Patients and Providers programs (MIPPAs), and explore opportunities to improve their capacity to outreach and serve diverse populations of beneficiaries.
Speakers:
- National Caucus and Center on Black Aging, Inc. - Angie Boddie
- National Indian Council On Aging, Inc. (NICOA) - Rebecca Morgan
- SAGE, Sherrill Wayland NAPCA, Heather Chun
