Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) September 07, 2012

Avenidas, a non-profit agency that helps older adults age successfully, recently announced their upcoming 9th annual Caregiver Conference. The conference will be held on Saturday, September 15th from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. at the Mountain View Senior Center and will offer expert guidance, support, information, camaraderie and a wealth of resources for caregivers and family members.

Workshops address key issues relevant to seniors and their caregivers, including help for hoarding, dementia caregiving, fall prevention, medications, burn out and many other insightful topics presented by psychologists, therapists and leaders in the industry. Event sponsors include Lytton Gardens Senior Communities, Home Care Assistance, Palo Alto Commons, Matched Caregivers, Harrell Remodeling and many others.

«We know many family members don’t consider themselves caregivers, and therefore they don’t always look for help or resources,» said Lisa Hendrickson, CEO of Avenidas. «That’s why it is so important to us that they come to the conference, find out they are not alone, and see all the experts and services they can turn to for assistance.»

The keynote address, «Caregiving Step #1: Forgive Yourself» will be given by Fred Luskin, Ph.D, the Director of the Stanford University Forgiveness Projects and an Associate Professor at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. He also serves as the Co Chair of the Garden of Forgiveness Project at Ground Zero in Manhattan. Dr. Luskin will discuss how to «be gentle with yourself as you deal with one of life’s significant challenges, and learn how to practice forgiving yourself and the one you care for.»

Conference attendees will also have an opportunity to tour the Avenidas Rose Kleiner Center immediately following the conference. Avenidas is offering an Early Registration Special of $ 35.00, which will increase to $ 45.00 after September 7th. Registration for the conference includes lunch, a message from the keynote speaker, Avenidas’ «Where to Live» Housing Guide, a choice of three workshops, access to sponsors, and the opportunity to win prizes.
