If you’ve been to the Caregiving Symposium in past years, you know that this is the most comprehensive family/informal caregiver event in Boulder County. Whether you support someone long distance, are new to caregiving, are experiencing changes in your situation, or have other reasons to be an interested community member, our goal is to expand understanding and support for the caregiver journey – and all are welcome! Featured this year are an introductory keynote address, multiple educational workshops, a robust resource fair, lunch, caregiver support sessions, complimentary massage appointments, and an opportunity to win gifts.
