X-WR-CALDESC:The vast majority of older adults and people with disabilities
  want to live at home and receive the help they need there. But most peopl
 e who receive Medicaid can’t access the support they need because Home and
  Community-Based Services (HCBS) are woefully underfunded across the count
 ry. At the same time\, because funding for institutions is required throug
 h the Medicaid program\, millions of people are institutionalized who woul
 d do much better at home.\n\nAdvocates are working together to secure inve
 stments to increase the availability of Medicaid HCBS and ensure that the 
 workers who provide help to people in their homes\, who are mostly women o
 f color\, are paid fairly\, receive proper training\, and are treated with
  respect. Recent messaging research has revealed best practices for how to
  talk about HCBS persuasively\, and can be used to advocate for increased 
 funding. Individuals who rely on Medicaid HCBS can help make this funding 
 a reality by sharing their stories about how HCBS allow them to remain at 
 home and in their communities living independent lives.\n\nThis webinar\, 
 How to Advocate for and Talk About Home and Community-Based Services\, co-
 presented by Justice in Aging and The Arc\, will provide an overview of HC
 BS and the state of legislation in Congress\, present the results of messa
 ging research\, and provide participants with best practices for advocatin
 g and sharing stories.\n\nWho Should Attend: Advocates\, people who rely o
 n HCBS\, direct care workers and HCBS providers\, and family caregivers.
