One of the key pillars of the LifeCourse Nexus Center is building systems and policies that support people with disabilities. Now, a free webinar focuses on family support and understanding the policies that support families and family caregivers for trainees.
The University of Missouri-Kansas City’s Institute of Human Development Associate Director Michelle Reynolds, Ph.D., joins with two others, Tamar Heller with the Department of Disability and Human Development at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Jill Kagan, program director for the ARCH National Respite Network and Resource Center for the presentation.
Hosted by the Association for University Centers on Disabilities, the webinar gives participants:
- Background on the history of family support
- Insight into current needs of families and family caregivers
- An overview of policies and practices of respite
