CARE-NET Coalition "Summerof Listening" The Georgia CARE NET Coalition is hosting "listening sessions" around the state in July, August and September, 2009. CARE NETS are listening to family caregivers to determine how the current economic climate is affecting them, to hear from families about what matters they consider of greatest importance, and of what help they need to continue providing care to family members. The data collected along with stories and testimonials, will be presented to members of Georgia's General Assembly and Key Agency Leaders in the Fall of 2009.
