Unfortunately, our scary good time looks a little too scary with a thunderstorm rolling in this afternoon. We've been watching the weather closely the last few days and are sad to cancel this wonderful event. We hope you are able to spend the time doing something fun (and dry!) this afternoon.

Most kids like dressing up, especially this time of year 🎃🍂... but have you ever wondered why? Piaget said "Play is the work of children." When children imagine who and what they can be, they are working their brains more than we know 💭

Dress up play encourages empathy (putting ourselves in others' shoes), turn-taking, sharing, and collaboration. It boosts 🚀 imagination and problem solving ❓, teaches leadership skills, and builds confidence and emotional awareness 😄😭😡.

So, encourage your little ones to dress up and put those little minds to work this spooky season!

Fill your cup at this wonderful event!

(DRUM ROLL PLEASE!) We are thrilled to share that the 2026 Care for the Caregiver Conference will be hosted in Owensboro, Kentucky, April 30–May 2 — right in the heart of Kentucky Derby weekend! There’s no better time to experience the beauty, culture, and hospitality of the Bluegrass State. We are so excited to partner with Puzzle Pieces to bring you this life changing event.

Known as the Bluegrass Music Capital of the World, Owensboro offers a one-of-a-kind backdrop for this year’s event. Caregivers can:

Rest. Relax. Socialize. Learn. Connect. Dance. And...

Take in live music and explore the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum;

Stroll through a charming, walkable downtown filled with unique boutiques and locally owned restaurants;

Relax by the Ohio River at Smothers Park, named one of the top riverfronts in America.

Owensboro is a hidden gem — warm, welcoming, and the perfect place for caregivers to step away from their daily responsibilities, invest in themselves, and recharge.

Mark your calendars now: April 30–May 2, 2026. Join us in Owensboro for a weekend of renewal, connection, and celebration you won’t forget!

Early Bird Registration will open up in January 2026. For more information and stay connected, visit our website here: https://morethanproject.org/care-for-the-caregiver-retreat/

You can see why we've been a little quiet on social media lately. Dr. Wallace and Stacey Quinlan joined with Ranzi Stacy and Jacie Sencindiver to present "Finding Your Voice: Advocacy Skills for Parents and Caregivers" at the Mountain State Conference on Disabilities: Bridging the Gap on September 19th. We enjoyed teaching practical skills for advocacy to parents, caregivers, and professionals, including crafting your story and honing your elevator pitch. Interested in learning more?
