Johnson County residents who are caring for friends or loved ones are invited to participate in a series of free conference calls offering information and support for family caregivers. These calls occur from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. the third Wednesday of every month, hosted by the North Central Flint Hills Area Agency on Aging.

Participating is easy. Just dial 866-476-8702 (toll free) and enter the PIN number 80107, followed by the "pound" (#) key. You will be asked to state your name and then to enter # again. You may use your first name only, or even a nickname. Please call five minutes before 2:00 p.m. to participate.
After that you can listen to the presentation and you will have an opportunity to ask questions.
