Keynote Speech at Caregiver's Toolbox Conference Print

Wednesday, June 17, 2009

12:30 - 1:15 p.m.

Kathleen Negri speaks with uncommon professional and personal authority about the life-changing issues facing Alzheimer’s patients and their families. In her compelling keynote address, “Mom, Are You There?,” she challenges audiences to find firm footing on the uncertain path through long-term caregiving. Kathleen balances practical tips from her legal practice with warm-hearted insights from her personal journey to help audiences shift the focus from fear and loss to faith, trust, and peace — new ways of thinking about and living with long-term illness and death.

Family members and caregivers. Health care professionals and social workers. You will discover how, by asking the following questions, caregivers can thrive despite the overwhelming obstacles presented by a long-term devastating illness such as Alzheimer’s:

  • Who can I turn to for information and support?
  • How do I prepare myself for this journey?
  • How can I stay open to the gifts this experience has to offer?

Kathleen Negri will be available to sign copies of her book, "Mom, Are You There? Finding a Path to Peace through Alzheimer's" after the Keynote Speech. Each family will receive a complimentary copy of Kathleen's book.

Event sponsored by RCCOA, Region 11 and 12 AAA, Routt County DHS and NWCOLTC.
