ACAP Cobb & Cherokee will offer its inaugural program on February 15, 2024, at Covenant Presbyterian Church, Kapperman-Williams Hall, 2881 Canton Road, Marietta. The program will focus on “Finding and Using
Senior Services in Your Local Community.” Finding appropriate agencies and professionals to address senior services and support can overwhelm adult children, their parents, and other family members. Knowing where to go and whom to contact before a crisis is essential in helping adult children and other family caregivers feel more informed and less stressed. Participants will become more knowledgeable about the full array of senior services and resources available in the local community. The program begins at 6:30pm.
Speakers for the program are Kathy Lathem and Deanna (De) Gale. Lathem is Strategic Partnerships Liaison at Cobb County Senior Services. Gale is Resource Coordinator, Cherokee County Senior Services.
