How to hold a Town Hall Meeting:



Elderly caregivers with a chronic illness have a 63% higher mortality rate than their non-caregiver peers.
What — Town Hall meetings are an opportunity for citizens to voice their concerns and opinions on a given topic so as to raise awareness and press for action. A Town Hall meeting provides an organized opportunity for family caregivers in a given community or state to be heard by their local leaders and others in decision making positions.

How — A Planning Guide (172kb, PDF) is available for the Town Hall Meeting initiative. Printed copies can be purchased on line or by calling NFCA at 800–896–3650.

When — Town Hall meetings can be held anytime of the year.

Where — Meeting places include local community centers, schools, libraries or hospitals.
