City of Pittsburgh recently issued the following announcement.
Join the University of Pittsburgh’s National Center on Family Support on Thursday, August 27 from 2 – 3:30 PM EST for a community-wide Town Hall discussing how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting family caregivers. Registration is free, but required.
Earlier this year, the Center released a survey to better understand the impacts of the current pandemic. Our results (you can read more here) found that family caregivers are being more negatively impacted than non-caregivers in many ways – financially, health-wise, and more.
The Town Hall will bring together family caregivers, policy experts, and legislators, providing a space to discuss barriers that family caregivers are currently facing and to understand what programs and supports are needed.
