Family caregivers and in-home care providers are invited to attend a day-long conference hosted by Aging and Long-Term Support Administration, Full Life Care, and Pierce County Community Connections/Aging and Disability Resources, with the support of numerous community organizations.

This year’s keynote speaker is Jane Tornatore, PhD, a speaker and therapist who will share humor, stories, and insights on caring for ourselves as we care for others, and discuss how we can eliminate unnecessary stress and gain more happiness for both partners. Caregivers can choose from 16 workshops and visit over 40 exhibitors with resource information about products and services that assist caregivers in Washington state. Caregivers will have the opportunity to meet with agency representatives and learn where and how they can get the help they need.

The early registration fee (by May 15) for individual caregivers is $30. Scholarships are available for unpaid family caregivers. The early registration fee for agency-based caregivers is $50. Fees include workshops, lunch, and resource exhibits. Registration forms will be available in April. At that time, don’t delay, as space is limited.
