Commit to Connect Webinar on Supporting Social Connection of Caregivers

September 19, 2025

Friday, September 26, 2025 | 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET
Register for the webinar

Providing care for a family member or loved one often leaves caregivers with little time for their own needs, including high-quality social relationships. For the nation's 63 million caregivers, social connection is a fundamental but often unaddressed need.

Join ACL's Commit to Connect initiative for a webinar to learn more about how facilitating peer support can effectively grow the social connections of caregivers. The webinar will feature experts leading innovative programs and services for caregivers and a "carefluencer" with lived experience as a young adult.

Panelists

  • Marvell Adams, CEO, Caregiver Action Network
  • Julie Lowenthal, Program Coordinator, Gateways Nonprofit Senior Services
  • Aisha Adkins, Carefluencer

This event will include CART captioning and ASL interpretation. A recording will be available on the Commit to Connect website after the event. If you have any questions or additional accessibility requests, please email [email protected].

The Commit to Connect initiative aims to advance the wellness of the U.S. by empowering older adults and people with disabilities to grow their social connections as a part of their healthy lifestyle.
