Caregiver education and support programs help decrease the stress and burden on family caregivers of the elderly. This directory profiles 72 programs for caregivers of elders. Programs are grouped into the categories of education, respite, and support. Education programs address skills and techniques for caregiving and include program implementation instructions. Respite programs offer either information and strategies for starting a respite program or content and methods for providing education and support to respite workers. Support programs describe how to start, sustain, and facilitate a support group. Each profile contains the date the program was developed or published; developer's name or organization; an abstract; curriculum content; setting for which the program was designed; implementation, funding, and evaluation information; reviewer comments; and source for program materials. Where appropriate, reviewers suggest adaptations that would facilitate use of the materials in rural settings. Some profiles include information on the usefulness of program materials for minority groups. Contains a list of program reviewers, an index by program descriptors, an index by program developer, and descriptions of other Center on Rural Elderly publications. (KS)
