AGE of Central Texas

AGE of Central Texas and the Area Agency on Aging of the Capital Area are partnering again this year for the 21st Annual Striking a Balance Caregiver Conference on Saturday, August 20. The free conference includes keynote presentations, breakout sessions and community resources to support family members who are caring for an older adult.

The largest, longest-run free caregiver conference in Central Texas, the annual event helps to ease the challenges of caring for an aging family member by providing unpaid caregivers with relevant information and vital resources. The attendees will discover local resources, acquire skills to better manage their caregiving situation, and connect with other caregivers and local experts on aging. The day also includes workshops on topics related to caregiving with experts available for questions.

This year’s conference features special guest and television star Chet Garner, from TV’s "The Daytripper," as the lunch keynote speaker. Presentations during the morning include workshops on emergency preparedness and hands-on caregiving tools, along with an Information & Resource Fair. After-lunch workshops include a caregiver panel, along with presentations on advanced directives and the positive approaches to caregiving.

Registration is FREE and includes all presentations, breakout sessions and lunch. Participants must pre-register as space is limited.
