GIVING CARE AND GETTING CARE

Giving Care and Getting Care is a Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP) Making Policy Public project. Making Policy Public is a program where CUP staff collaborate with skilled designers, committed organizers / advocates, and members of impacted communities to break down a complex social justice issue into an easy to understand, visual explanation in the form of a foldout poster.

The Giving Care and Getting Care poster helps family caregivers understand what resources are available to them. The bilingual English and Spanish fold-out explains insurance programs and resources that can help cover the costs of long-term care. The project also includes tips and support from Caring Across Generations’ network of caregivers, and folds open into a vibrant poster that includes demands for a better, more equitable care system. Caring Across Generations launched Giving Care and Getting Care at a Caregiver Corner, an event by and for caregivers to share resources and form community. The guide was distributed nationally across Caring Across Generations’ network of caregiver and healthcare advocacy organizations.
