Caring for someone else can come with questions you never expected to have to answer.

On September 30, Caregiver Compass brings together local experts for an evening designed to help caregivers better understand the challenges they may be facing, and the support available to help them navigate what comes next.

Hear from Dr. Gwendolyn Graddy-Dansby, Alison Pacifici, LMSW, and Kristin Whitney, AP Care Manager, as they discuss recognizing when you need support, caregiver stress and burnout, self-care, and finding and navigating caregiver resources.

Registration is required.
