Program Description
As dementia diagnoses rise and families shoulder the burden of care, a growing number of women find themselves navigating high-stakes careers while also caring for aging parents and children. This interactive workshop explores the unique challenges of balancing professional responsibilities with the emotional, logistical, and ethical complexities of dementia caregiving. Participants will gain practical strategies for boundary-setting, resource navigation, and self-preservation—while also exploring local organizations and healthcare benefits to better support working caregivers.

Join us for a walking tour of The Hill followed by lunch at a restaurant.
About the Tour - The Hill
(Toasted) ravioli! (Clay) mining! (Disappearing) churches! In many ways, St. Louis’s famous Hill neighborhood exemplifies the immigrant experience of the early 20th century. Learn about the people who called the area home before the Northern Italians arrived, find hidden pieces of history, and experience the entrepreneurial energy that is fueling the Hill’s success today. Like so many other St. Louis neighborhoods, the Hill’s history is a complicated mix of tradition and bigger social forces at play. (And we promise to get into that whole t-rav thing.)
