One in four adults in Idaho are family caregivers. These individuals provide unpaid support to individuals with physical, intellectual or cognitive disabilities, mental health conditions, chronic illness, or kinship care. Family caregivers are lifesavers and keep families together.
The Idaho Caregiver Alliance, a grant-funded initiative housed in Boise State's School of Population and Public Health, invites Idaho's caregivers to its 15th annual conference.
The Idaho Caregiver Alliance Caregiver Conference aims to highlight the important work of Idaho's caregivers and offer support and resources. This year's conference will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 21via Zoom.
