TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In conjunction with February as Black History Month (BHM), the Aging Life Care Association® (ALCA) continues its discussion around diversity, with a free, public panel discussion "Caregiving and the Black Family."

A panel of experts will discuss the traditional caregiving roles many BIPOC families shoulder, explore how professional Aging Life Care Managers® can build trust and respect for clients, and offer strategies to incorporate into a care management practice. A recent survey, conducted by the Nationwide Retirement Institute®, cites that while 73% of Black caregivers would like more help, 67% would not be comfortable with an at-home care provider.

“We are excited to kick off our Diversity & Inclusion efforts in 2021 with this panel, which directly addresses cultural and systematic issues facing family caregivers and Aging Life Care Professionals® today,” commented ALCA CEO C. Taney Hamill.

ALCA members have extensive training and experience working with older adults, people with disabilities, and families who need assistance with caregiving issues.
