Why attend the Wisconsin Caregiving Symposium
Caregivers in the U.S.
Over 100 million adults provide unpaid care to a person with an illness, injury or age related issue. These caregivers are supported by a variety of organizations, from small local non-profit, to state wide ADRC and federal programs.
Children, youth and young adult caregivers
Over 5 million children under 18 provide care, and an additional 7 million young adults engage in care - yet programs, supports and services either directly exclude, or overlook these vulnerable caregivers
Caregiving professionals
Supporting caregivers takes time, money and information about caregiver needs and experiences. Yet, not enough educational opportunities, learning across programs and resources, exist for many caregiving professionals.
