Carole A. Robinson, PhD, RN, is a Professor of Nursing at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan Campus, Canada, and Past President of IFNA. Her research focuses on understanding and supporting families living with life-limiting illness. Over the last 6 years and multiple studies, Robinson and colleagues developed a Family Caregiver Decision Support Guide based on internationally recognized standards for patient decision aids. The Guide is open access and can be found here. Please feel free to contact Dr. Robinson for information about how best to implement the Guide. An interactive version is in development and will be available in late 2018. For more information contact IFNA member, Carole Robinson.

Joan Clites, EdD, RN, is an associate professor of nursing at the California University of Pennsylvania in California, Pennsylvania, where she teaches and facilitates a 6-credit theory and clinical Family Health Nursing Course for the RN to BSN program. About 10 years ago, Dr. Clites made the very natural transition from a specialty in gerontological nursing to family health nursing taking her interest in aging with her to an interest in aging families, particularly custodial grandparents who are parenting their grandchildren for a variety of reasons. Dr. Clites most recently presented a poster on Accidental Medication Poisoning of Children Living with Grandparents at the 13th International Family Nursing Conference (IFNC13) in Pamploma, Spain.  She is currently serving as a new member of the IFNA Education Committee.  For more information contact IFNA member, Joan Clites.
