Over four weeks, we had the privilege of supporting 16 incredible individuals who show up every day to care for someone they love. Watching caregivers connect, learn, and leave each session feeling more supported was truly inspiring.

We’re already planning four NEW sessions for the spring to continue empowering informal caregivers with knowledge, community, and confidence.

Thank you to everyone who attended, shared the word, or helped make this series possible. Your support matters — and so do caregivers.
