On April 28, 2023, the Bay Area Senior Health Policy Coalition hosted a virtual event titled “Caring for Caregivers Supporting the Master Plan for Aging.” This event drew 130 attendees from across the Bay Area and was planned in partnership with organizations from Marin, Napa, Solano, Sonoma, Alameda, and Contra Costa Counties. The event featured powerful testimonials from four caregivers in the community, CA Dept of Aging Director Susan DeMarois provided keynote remarks, and we had a candid panel discussion with six County Supervisors and Leadership from the above counties who shared their commitment to supporting paid and unpaid caregivers in the community, as well as their personal stories of caregiving. Attendees participated in four small group discussions, and we ended the event with an advocacy training led by the California Work & Family Coalition. Below you will find links to the session recordings, speaker presentations and additional event materials.
