2023 Family Caregiver Symposium

Thank you again to our Copper sponsors, Acadia and Copperpoint Insurance, and our media sponsor, KTAR 92.3 fm, for making this event possible.

For this year’s annual Family Caregiver Symposium, we invited two remarkable international speakers to help you discover practical strategies and tools to navigate your caregiving journey. Dr. Aaron Blight, a world-class speaker, consultant, and author specializes in caregiving, aging, and healthcare. His presence was an absolute hit at last year’s symposium, and due to popular demand, we are thrilled to have him back. Dr. Blight explained how caregivers can improve their capacity by adapting to their loved one’s ever-changing circumstances. We were also excited to welcome Dr. Robert J. Wicks, Professor Emeritus at Loyola University, and author of over 60 books. He discussed resilience, self-care, and the integration of psychology and classic spiritual approaches to maintain a healthy perspective. Jayme West, KTAR 92.3 FM, Arizona’s Morning News, moderated the symposium.
