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.

Members

As a member of the Coalition on Family Caregiving, you will have tremendous opportunities to work with local professionals within the long-term care field through our various meetings and events. These opportunities allow you to share and receive information, knowledge, skills, and opportunities with your fellow members.  As a member, our website offers you an opportunity to provide a complete business profile of your organization; as well as the ability to list upcoming events provided by your organization as well.  Membership with the Coalition offers leadership, civic, and charitable opportunities.  Most recently we have partnered with Overlook Hospital’s Patient Caregiver Center to provide a greater family caregiver experience for those visiting the Hospital.  Whether it is peer-to-peer networking; a speaking engagement at a local community center; or participating in an industry-related conference; the Coalition on Family Caregiving offers you limitless opportunities through internal and external education and advocacy.
