Join the Oklahoma Caregiver Coalition
The Oklahoma Caregiver Coalition (OCC) is dedicated to improving support and resources for family caregivers across Oklahoma. Whether you’re a caregiver or an organization offering resources, we invite you to join us on this important journey!
The OCC was formed at the end of 2016 as a result of DHS Aging Services receiving Lifespan Respite Grant funding from the Administration for Community Living. The OCC has a collection of over 200 caregivers and public and private partners striving to develop and sustain various areas of support for primary caregivers. The careful work and planning of the OCC partners has produced a strategic plan to determine goals and objectives in addressing the needs of Oklahoma caregivers.
The OCC meets quarterly to discuss pressing caregiver issues as a whole and provides an opportunity for the focused subcommittees to network. Each OCC partner determines which of the six subcommittees to serve that best fits their expertise or interest.
Subcommittees:
-
Membership, Communications, & Outreach
-
Caregiver Education & Supports
-
Respite
-
Grandparents & Other Relatives Raising Children
-
Home Safety, Modifications & Healthcare
-
Legislative & Advocacy
