Who We Are
Caregiving International is an nonprofit organization founded by Clarissa Fells Smith and led by several other members of the board. We will bring awareness to the community about the plight, struggle, and need for elder abuse prevention and protection. We understand that teaching our children and communities to care for elders makes a more humane society. America is lagging in how we treat, honor, and respect an aging population. We must start educating and informing generations now to establish a solid foundation of honor, which begins at home. Many problems in America's culture today can be traced to a lack of honor and respect for elders, such as: disobeying elders and adults, rule violations, and disrespect at home, school, and community, which contributes to crime, violence, and increased incarceration.
