Join us for an inspiring Knowledge Exchange Series (KES) featuring a documentary screening and panel discussion that explores the urgent question: What is caregiving and what does it look like in the state of Wisconsin?
Headlining the event is a screening of a 30-minute segment from the new PBS documentary Caregiving, executive produced by Bradley Cooper. This timely, thought-provoking documentary shines a spotlight on the lives of caregivers and the emotional, physical, financial, and societal challenges they face in the U.S. today. Click HERE to view a trailer for the film.
A panel discussion, featuring local caregivers and policy experts, will follow the screening. Students, faculty, staff, and community members are encouraged to attend.
