The Caregiver Thread

Community Co-Hosts: Leisa M & Melissa P

Each Caregiver Thread rap session will begin with a Conversation Guide who will help introduce the topic and share insights for approximately 30 minutes. The focus of the program is not a presentation, but a supportive conversation where caregivers can share experiences, ask questions, learn from one another, and build meaningful connections.
