Our second annual conference, co-sponsored by the Center for Hospice, Palliative Care and End of Life Studies and Florida Policy Exchange Center on Aging from the School of Aging Studies, took place on Friday, April 12th, at the USF Embassy Suites, 'Caring for the Caregiver to Provide Better Care;' the conference brought together community caregivers and professionals, with 100 individuals and almost 50 caregivers in attendance. Sessions included how to cope with stress, medical and health issues caregivers often face, and resiliency and advocacy.
