Caregiver’s Rest Conference 2016

Last years conference was wonderful. Thanks to all came out ! The focus of our conference was “Mental Health and fun, fun , FUN”. Various mental health agencies came out to support and educate caregivers about mental health. So many misconceptions about mental health were clarified. The conference gave caregivers understanding about how to take care of themselves mentally. Our keynote speaker Psychiatrist Dr. Valerie Augustus revealed how important it is for caregivers to take care of their minds as well as their bodies.
