Options & Advocacy 30th Anniversary

We are thrilled to invite you to be a part of the 2025 Caregiver Conference, a special event dedicated to supporting and empowering caregivers in our community.
Join us for an empowering conference designed for caregivers of young children or adults who are neurodivergent, navigating mental health challenges, or living with lifelong intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The event will feature a dynamic keynote speaker, a comprehensive resource fair, an optional lunch, and specialized training tracks tailored for both caregivers and professionals.
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and grow with others in the community. Secure your spot today!
We are incredibly grateful for the generous support of Hammortree Financial Services and the McHenry County Mental Health Board, whose sponsorship has made it possible for us to host this event for FREE!
Thanks to the sponsorship, both caregivers and the greater McHenry County community are also invited to attend for FREE—lunch included!
