I am really excited to share the first Caregiving.com Virtual Care Conference! Denise Brown lined up several presenters
covering all sorts of situations caregivers face and topics of interest to
caregivers. I am honored to be a part of
what I hope is the first annual conference!
Richard (my husband and creator of PickYourPain.org) did what he does
best: teach! He demonstrated how to safely get Robert in and out of the car,
how to use and fold a transport chair as well as many other useful tips involving
various medical equipment. I was the behind-the-scenes camera person for his
presentation and, well, let’s just say I will be keeping my day job but Robert was a real star!
G-J Heins and I also presented our care tips when traveling with our
caree and helpful hints when leaving them in respite care. Thankfully, this only involved talking with
G-J and no camera work!
This was a terrific conference and I was thrilled to be a
part of it. It was made for caregivers –
after all, how many of us have four hours to attend a conference? Not many.
The Care Conference is a virtual conference and can be watched when
there is a few spare minutes here and there (or if sitting bedside by your
caree in the hospital or care facility). The four hour conference is broken up into several twenty
minute presentations.
Please leave your feedback in the comment section so we can
convince Denise to make this an annual event.
Tell us what topics you would like to see covered during future
conferences or if you are interested in being a presenter. Let me know what you liked about this
conference and what you found to be most helpful.
(I am hoping by the next conference my filming abilities have
improved!)
Enjoy!
