North Dakota Health and Human Services (HHS) invites North Dakota caregivers to the 2024 Caring for the Caregiver – Caregiver Summit on Wednesday, Oct. 2 at the Bismarck Public Schools Career Academy located at 1221 College Drive, Bismarck.
The free in-person summit is designed to provide support and education for North Dakotans who dedicate their time to caring for people of all ages. The day will be filled with valuable insights and resources for caregivers. By attending, caregivers will learn from experts in the field, connect with other caregivers and discover new ways to prioritize self-care.
“There are several resources for not only those receiving care, but for caregivers as well,” Adult and Aging Services Director Nancy Maier said. “This is an excellent opportunity for caregivers to invest in themselves while learning how to enhance their caregiving journey.”
To ensure all caregivers have an opportunity to attend, HHS will provide Lifespan Respite Grant vouchers to help cover the cost of temporary care for a person who is receiving care from the eligible caregiver.
There is no charge to attend the summit; however, registration is required to plan for the free lunch that will be provided. For event details and registration, visit hhs.nd.gov/caregiver-summit.
