Kavanaugh, a social work researcher and professor dedicated to improving the lives of caregiving youth, along with a Caregiver Support Coordinator from Milwaukee County Aging Services, for a day of learning, connection, and fun. Enjoy hands-on activities, helpful resources, snacks, and a special screening of LUKi & the Lights, a powerful nonverbal animated film that shares the emotional journey of a family navigating ALS/MND. Come to explore, connect, and celebrate the strength of caregiving families.
