About this event

Caregiving remains largely invisible, uncompensated, and underappreciated, even as demand outpaces the system. This session examines the full caregiving continuum, from family caregiving to the paid workforce, tackling policy debates - paid leave, respite care, tax credits, and direct pay models - alongside the collective response needed across health care, employers, government, and community.

Speakers Amy Goyer - National Family and Caregiving Expert, AARP Ruth Kershner - National Family Caregiver Support Program, Montgomery County DHHS Mary Lazare - Principal Deputy Administrator, Administration for Community Living (ACL) Tom Stevens - Family caregiver, former mayor
