Event Overview
Bellevue University will host the Empowered Caregiver Conference in collaboration with the Alzheimer’s Association Nebraska Chapter. The event will bring caregivers, care partners, and professionals together to build skills and access resources related to dementia care. The conference will take place on campus and will include sessions led by educators from the Alzheimer’s Association.
What Attendees Will Learn
The conference will provide instruction on communication approaches, behavioral responses, care planning, and strategies that support independence and safety for individuals with dementia. Attendees will learn methods to manage caregiving responsibilities while addressing stress and long-term care needs. Presenters will share resources, tools, and approaches that support daily caregiving decisions and outcomes.
“Caregivers need access to education and support that they can apply in real situations,” said Anna Fisher, Bellevue University adjunct faculty member. “This conference helps individuals build knowledge, connect with resources, and take steps that support both the caregiver and the person receiving care.”
Community Connection
Participants will also connect with local services and peer networks during the event. The conference will support individuals across caregiving experience levels and create opportunities for partnerships between community organizations and education providers. Registration is required in advance.
