Health care professionals, social service providers, organizational leaders and family caregivers from across the region will gather for the symposium “Together We Care: Uniting Families and Professionals Across the Lifespan.”
The accredited continuing education event, set for Friday, June 26, is dedicated to improving caregiving experiences across the lifespan. Hosted at the Scott Conference Center in Omaha, and also offered via livestream with on-demand access, the symposium invites participants to explore practical, interdisciplinary solutions for caregiving challenges.
It is organized by the UNMC College of Nursing’s Continuing interProfessional Development and Innovation (CiPDI).
The program introduces the guiding framework “What is Going on Now” and “What to Do Next,” designed to equip attendees with tools to navigate caregiving decisions and develop care plans. Participants will learn how collaborative effort, communication and community connections can transform the caregiving experience.
Through real‑world scenarios and interactive discussions, the event will highlight the shared responsibility of clinical teams, leadership and families in building systems that reduce caregiver stress, enhance continuity of care and improve health outcomes.
Participants will explore emerging trends — including the growing presence of youth caregivers, grandparents raising grandchildren and culturally diverse caregiving networks. Participants also can connect with local resources through resource fair sessions.
In‑person and livestream registration are available, with reduced fees for caregivers and students. Registration closes June 19, and in‑person space is limited. Eligible professionals may earn 6.25 ANCC contact hours or 6.25 ACE continuing education credits.
