At the heart of providing older adult mental health care lies your connection, compassion, and resilience. This conference is designed to empower caregivers, professionals, advocates, and community members with valuable insights into the behavioral health care needs of older adults and their caregivers. Join experts in the field as they explore essential topics, including ethical communication strategies to support the caregiver, evidence-based best practices for caregiving, end-of-life planning, and the importance of maintaining the caregiver’s emotional and physical well-being. Gain practical tools, expert guidance, and a renewed sense of purpose in your caregiving journey, because YOU are the vital heart of care.

#3 Balancing Care Across Generations
