About this Event
Greensboro, NC —Because family caregivers go through tremendous personal, financial and physical sacrifices caring for their loved ones, Triad family caregivers are invited to a day of education, encouragement, and self-care at the 2026 Caregiver Engagement Fair, themed Balance Matters: Mind, Body, & Soul. The event will be held on Friday, November 13, 2026, 10-2:30 PM at Mount Zion Baptist Church, 1301 Alamance Church Road, in The Atrium, East Campus and is free and open to all family caregivers (unpaid caregivers that care for a loved one).
The fair will feature three expert-led sessions addressing the mental, physical, and the general well-being of those who care for others.
Mind: Managing Caregiver Stress & Preventing Burnout Presenter: April Herring, Associate Pastor at GFCC.April will explore the emotional toll of caregiving. Attendees will learn to recognize early warning signs of burnout, apply practical stress-management techniques, and incorporate quick mindfulness practices into a busy caregiving schedule.
Body: Physical Self-Care for the Caregiver Presenter: Drew Schlabach, PT, DPT, OCS, FAAOMPT, Regional Director at BreakThrough Physical Therapy. Chris will addresses the physical demands of caregiving — from lifting and bending to long hours on one's feet. Participants will learn safe body mechanics, simple stretches and movement routines, and strategies for maintaining energy and physical resilience over time.
Soul: Protecting Your Peace — Guarding Against Scams, Fraud & Financial Exploitation Presenter: Chris Malloy, Retired Detective, Guilford County Sheriff Department. Chris will teach caregivers how to identify common phone, mail, online, and Medicare fraud tactics. The session will also cover steps to secure personal data, recognize signs of identity theft, and access resources for reporting and recovery.
"Caregiving asks so much of family caregivers — mentally, physically, and emotionally," said Alexis Williams, Ex. Director, Caregiver Connect, Inc.. "This fair is designed to give caregivers practical tools to protect their own well-being while they continue caring for their loved ones."
The 2026 Caregiver Engagement Fair is hosted by Caregiver Connect, Inc. in partnership with AARP NC Triad and Health Team Advantage as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting caregivers in the community.
