Caring for Yourself - Educational Session (No cost, open to non-members, including men)
Tuesday, April 21, 2026  l  6:00 - 7:00 pm | Virtual (RSVP for Zoom Link)

Join us for an inspiring fireside chat with fellow IWCA member Lynn Fichtel, who will share her personal journey navigating family history, caregiving and the proactive steps she has taken to better understand and support her brain health. Grounded in research such as the U.S. POINTER study, the conversation will explore how lifestyle choices, biomarker awareness and emotional resilience can shift the narrative from fear to empowerment.

Participants will also hear from Katie Green, a licensed clinical social worker and certified Montessori dementia care professional, who will offer practical tips and strategies to help caregivers care for themselves, prevent burnout and sustain their strength.
