The 10th Annual Family Caregiver Conference invites participants from across Idaho and beyond for a virtual event on Feb. 20. The conference is sponsored by the Idaho Caregiver Alliance and Boise State Universityâs Center for the Study of Aging. This yearâs theme is âCelebrating Resilience.â
The conference provides community building and educational opportunities for informal family caregivers. The Idaho Caregiver Alliance estimates that one in four Idahoans care for someone with a physical, intellectual or cognitive disability, or mental health condition. In Nov. 2020, Idaho Gov. Brad Little released a proclamation in support of family caregivers, acknowledging they provide 201 million hours in unpaid labor in Idaho annually. They also struggle to find formal support systems.
