DESCRIPTION:Working caregivers navigate a complex and often invisible menta
 l load as they balance work responsibilities\, caregiving roles\, maintain
 ing social relationships\, and tending to their own health and well-being.
  This presentation introduces a new PACADA subcommittee focused on fosteri
 ng a supportive and inclusive community for Purdue staff. \n\nThe initiati
 ve centers on three interconnected goals: building peer connection\, incre
 asing institutional awareness of working-caregiver needs\, and advocating 
 for practical supports that promote retention\, well-being\, and career ad
 vancement. Through structured networking opportunities\, resource sharing\
 , and collaboration with campus leadership\, the program seeks to reduce i
 solation\, normalize conversations around caregiving and the mental load t
 hat working caregivers may face\, and create pathways for collective probl
 em-solving. The presentation will outline the rationale for the initiative
 \, describe its development and early implementation\, and highlight oppor
 tunities for participation.
