Abstract

This book is focused on the current and future directions of education and support programs in four areas: (1) professional practice, (2) education and training, (3) research, and (4) policy and advocacy. Caregiving and support for family caregivers have continued to take on increasing significance in the American society as baby boomers’ age and life expectancy increase. As the debate rages about what to do to contain the increasing cost of health care, the central importance of family caregiving remains unquestioned. This concluding chapter will consider the current state of education and support groups for family caregivers and make recommendations that will help improve practice in the future.
