Our inaugural Charles Evans Lecture on the Art and Science of Caregiving on April 10th at the Times Center will consider the ethical and moral responsibilities inherent in the role of caregiver, as well as sharing some "lessons learned". These include how to manage the challenges and the emotional and psychological impact of caregiving for someone with dementia, and the potential for personal growth. Our goal is to educate and inspire caregivers and honor their often unrecognized, yet immensely valuable contribution.
Moderated by Jed A. Levine, NYC Chapter Executive Vice President and Director of Programs & Services
