Iowa CareGivers received grants from two funders to support training and self-care programs for Iowa’s direct care workers and family caregivers. Delta Dental of Iowa Foundation awarded Iowa CareGivers $25,000 for 2023 and pledged an additional $25,000 in 2024. Telligen awarded Iowa CareGivers $75,000. The funding from Delta Dental of Iowa Foundation will aid with the expansion of the Mouth Care Matters program into curriculums of more community colleges and state programs. The Telligen Community Initiative grant will help address health care worker burnout by developing and implementing two pilot “Reservoir Replenishing Retreats for Care Workers,” to promote and provide self-care programs and services for direct care workers.
