About this Event

Hosted by My Natural Me – Dementia Caregivers Support ProgramSaturday, September 19, 2026 | 10:00 AM–3:30 PMHalf-Day Community Symposium

Caring for someone living with dementia is a journey filled with love, responsibility, exhaustion, resilience, and life-changing transitions. Many caregivers quietly navigate emotional stress, financial strain, workplace challenges, and the growing responsibility of helping loved ones safely age in place — often while trying to maintain stability within their own households and careers.

Caring Hearts: Dementia Caregiver Expo is a community-centered event created to support caregivers and families through education, wellness, advocacy, and meaningful connection. This thoughtfully curated experience brings together caregivers, healthcare professionals, community organizations, and local resources to help families navigate the realities of dementia care with greater confidence and support.

This is not a clinical conference or a sales-driven expo. It is a compassionate and empowering community gathering focused on helping caregivers access practical tools, emotional wellness support, resource navigation, and sustainable caregiving strategies that strengthen both families and communities.

Designed with caregivers in mind, the event addresses real-life challenges including caregiver burnout, emotional wellness, care planning, aging in place, workplace balance, and navigating support systems available throughout our region.

What to Expect

  • Educational workshops focused on dementia-friendly communication, caregiver emotional wellness, and care planning
  • Access to local service providers, aging resources, and community organizations in an easy-to-navigate vendor corridor
  • A dedicated Caregiver Resource Hub offering practical tools, guidance, and support information
  • Wellness screenings including blood pressure and A1C checks
  • Conversations around caregiver sustainability, family wellness, and community support systems
  • Resources connected to healthy aging, caregiving support, and maintaining quality of life for older adults
  • A special fashion show feature celebrating caregivers and honoring strength, identity, dignity, and self-worth
  • Opportunities to connect with others who understand the caregiving journey and leave with actionable next steps

Who Should Attend

  • Family caregivers supporting someone living with dementia
  • Individuals preparing for future caregiving responsibilities
  • Older adults and families seeking aging and wellness resources
  • Professionals and advocates who support caregivers and aging populations
  • Community members interested in dementia education and caregiver support

Caring Hearts reflects the mission of My Natural Me, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals and families through education, advocacy, wellness, and culturally responsive programming.

Through the Dementia Caregivers Support Program, My Natural Me works to ensure caregivers have access to the tools, language, community support, and wellness resources needed to care for others without losing themselves in the process.

Join us for a meaningful day of education, connection, support, and community as we come together to uplift caregivers and strengthen the systems that help families thrive.
