Speaker is Nancy Ferguson, an outpatient counselor with the Lindner Center of HOPE. Her focus and experience include people living with medical challenges, parents of medically fragile children, and elder caregiving.
She, too, is a caregiver for her family.
Panel members will guide the discussion the second hour, answering audience questions and providing specific resource suggestions.
Local community agencies will be present before and after the session to share the services they provide for caregiving support.
This program is intended for anyone who is caregiving or anticipates caregiving.
