Are you a student who also assists a parent, grandparent, or sibling? Are you interested in learning how to support caregivers as a future professional?

To mark National Family Caregivers Month, UW Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education (CIPE) Knowledge Exchange Series returns with a documentary screening and active learning experience devoted to the misunderstood topic of children, youth, and young adult caregivers. Dr. Melinda S. Kavanaugh, Professor of Social Work at UW-Milwaukee, will facilitate discussion and present the latest research on young caregivers. Light refreshments will be served before the film screening from 4:30-5p.m.
