This toolkit provides agencies and their partners with a starting point for conversations regarding how to serve diverse communities of older adults. From the viewpoint that serving diverse communities is not a “one size fits all” approach, participants will learn how agencies and their partners can work together to serve all diverse communities with respect, inclusiveness and sensitivity. Presenters: Carol Crecy, Director, Office of Outreach and Consumer Information, U.S. Administration on Aging, Washington, DC David Ishida, Bi-Regional Administrator, Region X, U.S. Administration on Aging, San Francisco, CA M37) “All Disasters are Local!” Are You Really Prepared or Just Think You Are?

Monday, July 19 M38) Caregiving for Native Americans Mills Studio 3 Supporting Title VI Programs and Services This session will be helpful to Title VI Directors and staff who manage caregiver programs and will focus on the issues that need to be considered in providing caregiving services and resources to Native American elders. What works well will be discussed as well as innovative approaches that can make a difference in making the connection to caregivers. Since most caregivers don’t think of themselves as caregivers, the language used to describe programs is important. Being respectful of cultural needs is also critical. Lessons learned will be shared and best practices highlighted. Come to learn and share what can make a successful caregiving experience for Native American elders. Presenter: Wilson Wewa, Title VI Caregiver Program, Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, Warm Springs, OR 4:45 p.m. – 5:45 p.m. Concurrent Workshops M39) Dinner Impossible . . . Make it a SNAP Sterling Studio 9 Benefits Outreach and Enrollment Encouraging a senior to apply for SNAP can seem like Dinner Impossible. SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which is the new federal name for food stamps. Partnering with local grocery stores is the key to the success of SNAP. The main course is to pre-screen seniors and for dessert the senior is eligible for SNAP. You will take a virtual shopping trip and test your SNAP skills.

We’re Listening Regency Ballroom B Building on 45 Years of Success with Older Americans Act Programs Our greatest communicators were not verbose—they based their communication on the art of asking open questions and LISTENING. In the words of Henry David Thoreau, “The greatest compliment that was ever paid to me was when one asked me what I thought and attended to my answers.” Learn how the “Lunch and Listen” program promotes communication between the current and upcoming aging population and the Area Agency on Aging, while exhibiting the value of AAA nutritional programs.
