At this free event for family caregivers (and the general public) presenters and local organizations come together to share lots of information, knowledge, and wisdom. It brings a unique opportunity to learn about resources and gain valuable education on many aspects of caregiving. Featured are a resource fair of service providers, complimentary snacks, multiple workshops on such topics as self-care, dementia, technology, legal issues, mindfulness, end of life issues, and more.
