Upcoming Opportunities
- See the CARE U page for upcoming workshops for direct care staff and train-the-trainers for health educators
CARE U Workshops and Train-the-Trainers
CARE organizes one-day workshops that help CNAs, personal care workers, and other direct care staff understand best care practices for older adults. The CARE U Train-the-Trainer prepares health educators to offer their own workshops.
Boards of Older Adult Advisors
To increase health researchers’ engagement of older people, CARE coordinates two community advisory boards, the Boards of Older Adult Advisors (BOAAs): one of older Madison residents, predominantly people of color, and one of rural residents.
CARE Network and Affiliates
The CARE Network is a community of practice of UW-Madison faculty, staff, and graduate students with an interest in older adult health and well-being. The Network fosters communication and collaboration, with Affiliates more actively involved.
Community Supports for People with Dementia
CARE helped develop and serves as the community partner liaison for this interdisciplinary community-based learning course, Nursing 511.
