About

As the U.S. population ages and the number of individuals living with serious illnesses such as cancer, dementia, heart disease, and Parkinson’s disease increases, family members and others are increasingly directly involved in providing care for these individuals. While unpaid, family caregivers can derive significant satisfaction and other positive benefits from caring for a loved one, research reveals that caregivers experience significant physical, psychological, emotional and financial burdens and a decline in their own physical and emotional health as a result of caring for people living with serious illness. This workshop will discuss evidence-based interventions and strategies that effectively address the physical, mental, and financial challenges of caregiving. The 1.5 day workshop will take place June 5 – 6, 2025 in Washington, DC. Registrants may attend all sessions in-person or virtually.
