Direct Care:
A Chorus of Compassion
OCTOBER 7, 2024

It is our goal to work in harmony to serve the needs of Iowans. The tempo of caregiving can be very quick and the dynamics can vary a lot, but it is important to get into a good rhythm. The bar is set high. Your participation in this conference can be key to rebuilding your passion and to avoiding falling flat from burnout. You will experience programs for self-care, professional and skill development, mental health, and networking with the ensemble of direct care workers and family caregivers in attendance. The day will crescendo in fun and motivation and send you away feeling harmonious and in unison.
