💜 I’m a Caregiver… Now What?
You don’t have to navigate it alone.
Join us for a FREE Caregiver Conference at Whitney Senior Center, created for caregivers, family members and friends looking for practical information, resources and support.
We’re honored to welcome longtime journalist and dementia advocate Karla Hult, founder of So Many Goodbyes, as our keynote speaker.

💜 Your Turn: Why Caregivers Deserve the Same Grace They Give
Drawing on interviews with leading experts in Alzheimer’s and dementia care, along with her own experience walking alongside her father during his Alzheimer’s journey, Karla brings both expertise and a deeply personal perspective to caregiving.

She’ll talk about the toll caregiving can take, the hope found in new research and resources, and most importantly, remind caregivers:
You are not alone. There is a village ready to support you.

📅 Saturday, November 21, 2026
⏰ 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
📍 Whitney Senior Center | St. Cloud

The morning also includes practical breakout sessions, community resources, refreshments and a closing caregiver Q&A panel.

💚 Free and open to the community.
Respite care is available upon request, with a virtual option for the keynote and caregiver panel.
