As informal carers are all too often forgotten by policymakers and institutional health & care systems, the AAL Programme is organizing a webinar on 15th February 2021, 15:00h, about the outcomes of Eurocarers´ survey on informal carers in Europe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
.
While especially people over 65 with pre-existing diseases and disabled people are most affected by the COVID-19 crisis, informal carers as well as professional carer organisations have been overwhelmed by the pandemic. Due to the current health crisis additional pressure is being put on the care system around Europe and informal carers often find themselves alone without being able to count on external public or private support. In order to learn more about the situation of informal carers, Stecy Yghemonos, Executive Director of Eurocarers and Marco Socci, Researcher at the National Institute of Health and Science of Ageing in Italy, will be discussing what needs to be done to improve not only the quality of care but also the well-being of informal caregivers.
