Local caregivers are invited to attend Maryland Public Television’s “Caregiving Expo” on Saturday, Aug. 2, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. on MPT’s campus at 11767 Owings Mills Boulevard in Owings Mills.

The program will provide caregivers with information on community resources they can tap; ways to receive emotional and physical support for their work; and connect them to organizational partners specializing in self-care and wellness.

The event is free to attend and open to both paid and unpaid caregivers.

The expo was developed in conjunction with the PBS documentary “Caregiving,” which can now be viewed via streaming on  MPT’s online video player and the free PBS app. The film will also air during the expo, followed by a panel discussion featuring local experts.

More than a dozen community partners will join MPT at the expo, ranging from the Maryland Department of Aging and Maryland Relay to the Maryland Chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness and the Parkinson’s Foundation. The full list of partners and the registration form for free attendance are available at mpt.org/events.
