The Arc of PA invites family caregivers across Pennsylvania to join us for two listening sessions to share their lived experience. Our organization is submitting public comments on the newly released: 2022 National Strategies for Family Caregivers. We want our comments to reflect the lived experience and thoughts of family caregivers in Pennsylvania. Participants will also hear from Nancy Murray, Executive Director of The Arc of Greater Pittsburgh, who is a member of the RAISE Act Family Caregiving Advisory Council which worked to compile the 2022 National Strategies report.
