Connections
building community for caregivers
If you're a parent, guardian, or caregiver of a child or young adult with disabilities or special needs, you know that every day brings both meaningful moments and unique challenges. Between appointments, work, advocacy, and caring for others, it isn't always easy to find the space to feel seen, stay connected, and get the resources you need.
This is why we're inviting you to join us for a day created just for caregivers, because you deserve a special day, too.
We are honored to welcome keynote speaker, Elana Meyers Taylor, along with featured speaker, Eliotte Nicole, who will share their inspiring journeys.
-
Elana Meyers Taylor, a Gold Medal Olympian and mother of two boys with special needs
-
Eliotte Nicole, a performer with Taylor Swift and sibling caregiver to her brother, Robert Henderson
This event will inspire caregivers with uplifting speakers, relaxation stations, resource tables, and breakout sessions focused on your needs. Lunch will be provided, and we will have wonderful prizes and fun giveaways!

One thing is clear, we all need community!
Our Caregiver Connection events are growing, a sign of just how real this need is. Caregivers from across the country have reached out to us, wanting to be part of this supportive community.
At In Our Arms Caregiver Network, our purpose is simple: support that feels practical and observable. During Caregiver Connection events, we talk about our loved ones, share our hardest days, relax while engaging in beautiful coloring activities, and enjoy good food together.
But most of all, we build real connections. Caregivers leave with more than a shared moment of feeling seen, they leave with a phone number to call on the days that are their hardest.
Together, we're building a community rooted in experience, understanding, and hope.
Sign up below to join us for in-person and virtual Caregiver Connection events where you will be seen, connected and find support for your caregiver journey.
