Eldercare Workforce Alliance’s Journalist Toolkit
May is Older Americans month and, in recognition, the Eldercare Workforce Alliance has released the Older Americans Month Toolkit for journalists and other stakeholders. It is designed to help easily identify resources that focus on the health and safety of older Americans. Of particular interest are links to personal stories by professionals, caregivers and older adults that can serve as a starting point for story ideas or sources. Links to professional training and guides, as well as Eldercare Workforce-specific programs are also included.
