The webinar is in partnership with NASHIA and the ARCH National Respite Network and Resource Center (ARCH).

As respite for family caregivers of people with brain injury is often limited due to scarce public dollars, as well as a critical shortage of qualified providers, ARCH and NASHIA are proud to bring you this webinar to highlight resources and possible solutions.

The purpose of the webinar is to describe the unique respite needs of this population; share resources provided by both the respite network and State brain injury programs; and learn about respite opportunities available through the Lifespan Respite Care program.
