What is the Coalition on Family Caregiving? We are a group of community based organizations, health care providers and others, working with a common mission to provide family caregivers in our community with a link to vital services and support. As advocates for family caregivers, we bring relevant issues into public forum. We also support and provide free educational programs on topics of vital interest to caregivers and their families. Our caregiver support focuses primarily in and around the Union County New Jersey area.
