HIVE Leadership Conference 2026

The caregiver simulation is an interactive experience that simulates the many challenges and rewards of being an informal caregiver. The simulation will last three hours and is a role play event where participants will act out the role of either a caregiver or care receiver in one of six different scenarios. Role playing scenarios may involve using mobility equipment or wearing items that simulate difficulties associated with specific diagnoses. Throughout the event, participants will complete tasks based on their caregiving situation. Participants will leave with a better understanding of caregivers' roles and responsibilities and a new or renewed sense of empathy for caregiving. Hosted by the Utah Caregiving Roundtable. 

Let's focus on how healthy relationships look and feel. When you know what the green flags are in a relationship, you can make healthy choices for positive outcomes!

This session will help self-advocates learn how to be in a safe and healthy relationship and how to manage their mental health when relationships involve difficult or scary situations. We will also help people determine what kind of relationship they want to be a part of. We will end with a fun and engaging activity.
