Developed by Easters Seals and ARCHThis manual draws on years of experience with volunteer services of National Easter Seals and its affiliates and of many ARCH member respite programs and services. Topics covered include: program planning and operations; volunteer recruitment, training and management; evaluation guidance; suggested policies and procedures; liability and insurance; and marketing. Specific training curricula are not included but suggested content for training and orientation, as well as many training resources are included. The purpose of this step- by- step manual is to help community- based programs assess their individual needs, plan and implement volunteer respite programs, and assist state Lifespan Respite programs as they address the requirements in the Lifespan Respite Care Act to build respite capacity through volunteer training and recruitment. Interspersed throughout the document are text boxes with additional resources for reading further on that topic, highlights of National Volunteer Respite Initiatives, and examples of local volunteer respite programs. It is our hope that as state Lifespan Respite programs develop statewide systems of coordinated and accessible respite services, they will use this guide to help them directly or through their subcontracts with faith- or community- based organizations to pursue respite expansion by using volunteers in an array of respite care options for families.

This guide provides detailed information about each of the federal programs that provides or could potentially provide respite funding or support. It is meant to be used by state Lifespan Respite Care Programs and their partners to help identify the funding sources that could: serve as the building blocks for the state’s Lifespan Respite system, help serve the underserved, help build respite capacity and quality, and help recruit, train and retain respite workers and volunteers, and lead to cross agency collaboration and partnerships. This guide can also be useful to community- and faith- based programs and other local public and private entities that are looking for potential sources of funding to develop new respite services or programs, expand or sustain current training efforts for respite providers or volunteers, or to enhance respite quality and access. It can also be useful to family caregivers or those who assist them in helping to identify sources of funding to pay for respite. Having numerous potential funding sources for respite does not suggest that funding is even close to sufficient to meet the need, but it does suggest the need to coordinate funding sources to maximize their benefits.
