Free Event about Caregiver Wellness and Brain Health

Free caregiving event on March 19 at Town Hall Seattle

To help support caregivers take care of their own health and wellbeing, AARP Washington, BECU, and KING 5 invite you to a free event on March 19 with NBC News/MSNBC Anchor Richard Lui and Dr. Kate Zhong, geriatric psychiatrist and founder of the Brainnovation Initiative at UNLV. KING 5’s Jim Dever will moderate the discussion.

Hear about Richard’s own caregiving experience as he took time away from his TV job to care for his father as he lived with Alzheimer’s, as seen in the new movie “UNCONDITIONAL” screened at the White House, United Nations, and U.S. Capitol.

Dr. Zhong will help us recognize how caregiving can impact our own mental health and provide tips and tools for how caregivers can boost their brain health and reduce the risk of memory loss.

Information about local community resources and services will also be available.

This free event will be held from 7:30-9:00pm at Town Hall Seattle (1119 8th Ave, Seattle, WA 98101). Doors open at 6:00pm and light refreshments will be served. Register at aarp.org/caring4caregiver or by phone at 1-877-926-8300.
