What is CCAN



The Caregiver Community Action Network (CCAN) is a unique and highly dedicated volunteer group of over 50 NFCA members who regularly attend meetings, conferences, and conventions about family caregiving issues. They serve as presenters, speakers, panelists, and workshop directors. CCANers advocate on behalf of family caregivers, talk to local and regional media, and some even manage their own family caregiver web sites. Some CCANers are also professional caregivers while others are full-time family caregivers.

All CCANers reach out to family caregivers, providing education and support, and at times teaching caregivers to be advocates for themselves and their loved ones. Most importantly, CCANers bring NFCA closer to you. NFCA wants to reach to as many family caregivers as possible. Find a CCANer in your state.

If you would like to join this special group and become a CCAN volunteer, please go to Become a CCANer.

NFCA is grateful to the MetLife Foundation for its continuing support of the CCAN program.
