About this Event

Caring Hearts: Dementia Caregiver Symposium

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

Caring for someone living with dementia is a journey filled with love, responsibility, exhaustion, and resilience. Too often, caregivers carry this weight quietly, navigating complex systems while managing their own emotional and physical well-being.

Caring Hearts: Dementia Caregiver Symposium is a community-centered gathering created to support family caregivers with practical tools, education, wellness resources, and meaningful connection. This half-day symposium offers a compassionate and accessible space where caregivers are seen, supported, and equipped, not overwhelmed.

Designed with caregivers in mind, the event blends educational workshops, resource access, wellness screenings, and moments of inspiration to address the real-life challenges of dementia caregiving. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from professionals, connect with community partners, and engage with others who understand the caregiving journey.

This is not a clinical conference or a sales-driven expo. It is a thoughtfully curated experience focused on dignity, sustainability, and community care.


What to Expect
  • Concurrent workshops focused on dementia-friendly communication, caregiver emotional wellness, and care planning
  • Access to local service providers and community resources in an easy-to-navigate vendor corridor
  • A dedicated Caregiver Resource Hub offering tools, information, and support
  • Optional wellness screenings, including blood pressure and A1C checks
  • A special fashion show feature celebrating caregivers and honoring strength, identity, and self-worth
  • Opportunities to connect, reflect, and leave with actionable next steps

Who Should Attend
  • Family caregivers supporting someone living with dementia
  • Individuals navigating caregiving responsibilities or preparing for future care
  • Community members seeking dementia education and resources
  • Professionals and advocates who support caregivers and aging populations

Caring Hearts reflects the mission of My Natural Me, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals and families through education, advocacy, and culturally responsive programming. Through the Dementia Caregivers Support Program, My Natural Me works to ensure caregivers have access to the tools, language, and community needed to care for others without losing themselves in the process.

Join us for a meaningful day of learning, connection, and support as we come together to uplift caregivers and strengthen our community.
