Care for the Caregivers

The International Christian AIDS Network (ICAN) seeks to promote a non-judgmental approach and, by also involving churches, acts as an advocate for those infected with and affected by HIV or AIDS (www.icannetwork.org). ICAN produced this manual to support programs that care for the caregivers: people working in hospices caring for the dying, family members caring for their sick and dying relatives, home-based caregivers, grandparents caring for orphans and other vulnerable children, heads of child-headed households, and many others. Ricus Dullaert, executive director of ICAN, is an HIV and AIDS consultant in St. Joseph's Care and Support Centre at Sizanani, South Africa.
