Educational Programs - Hope for the Future

Our 11th Annual Alzheimer’s Caregiver Symposium – Hope for the Future is in the planning stages, please keep checking this page for updates.

If you want more information regarding vendor exhibits, please contact Stephanie Hull at 501-224-0021 or stephanie.hull@alzark.org.

Hope for the Future is an annual caregiver symposium held in Little Rock through which Alzheimer’s Arkansas reaches out to caregivers across Arkansas. This daylong symposium provides family and professional caregivers with general information regarding Alzheimer’s disease and its progression; tools, knowledge, and techniques to improve caregiving skills; and information concerning resources available to caregivers and Alzheimer’s patients through vendor exhibits. Speakers are chosen based on the needs expressed by caregivers throughout the state. The keynote speaker is someone on the forefront of the Alzheimer’s field who is particularly able to address a particular topic the caregivers have requested.

Caregivers, both family and professionals, attend from across Arkansas. Family caregivers attend free of charge, unless requesting continuing education credits. Reimbursement for respite care to allow family caregivers to attend the symposium is also available. There is a fee for professionals who attend. Continuing education credits (CEU's) are available for nurses, nursing home administrators, occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants, physical therapists, pharmacists, psychologists (may be awarded based on the Arkansas Psychology Board CEU Guidelines), emergency medical services, social workers, and certified nursing assistants.
