Please note: The maximum number of participants for this conference has been reached. Unfortunately registering is no longer possible. True to the spirit of the first Caregivers’ Conference - co-organized by Pam Eisen in Herne in 2008 - we are proud to announce that the 5th International Caregivers’ Conference will take place in Munich from 28-30th of August under the umbrella of the IPWSO (International Prader Willi Syndrome Organisation). The PPCB (Professional Provider Caregiver Board) will organise the conference on behalf of IPWSO. The conference is designed for anyone with daily or occasional involvement as caregiver of people with Prader-Willi-Syndrome. For example, this could be staff members of accommodation or employment services, pre-schools, schools, health services, etc. The event takes place over 3 days and offers a wide variety of workshops that promote a collaborative atmosphere in which participants from all over the world exchange practice-driven knowledge and actively contribute their own experiences to develop new methods for their own day-to-day work. The workshops of the 5th International Caregivers’ Conference comprise the following topics:
The results of the workshops will be made available to all participants through an Open Space. The main presentations and talks will cover a number of presently relevant topics:
The conference will feature a panel discussion where professional caregivers, researchers, parents and members of the IPWSO board will exchange ideas on practically relevant procedures for supporting people with PWS. Naturally, three days of conference also offer ample time for personal interaction. Once again, the conference party in the evening on the second day will be a special opportunity to connect with like-minded people from all over the world. The Palace of Fürstenried provides the ideal environment for events. Spacious conference rooms and the baroque garden are the perfect setting to work and relax.
