Ohio AgrAbility hosted two Caregiver Support Network webinars February 17: "Respite and Caregiver needs: Creating your respite action plan," and "Sharing respite experiences and resources: Where do I start?" Both webinars were very well attended, and the discussions yielded a great many resources, which were collected and turned into a handout (available on the Ohio AgrAbility website).

Ohio AgrAbility staff are planning two or three more webinars for 2021 and are working with professionals across Ohio to select topics and identify speakers. OAP staff have found that the broad appeal of topics such as caregiver support and rural health have created opportunities for outreach and promotion of Ohio AgrAbility to audiences that have not interacted with Ohio AgrAbility. Meeting over common concerns and interests, such as caregiver support, has helped to raise awareness of Ohio AgrAbility services throughout Ohio.
