Time: 3:00-4:00pm

Location: in-person at Senior Concerns, 401 Hodencamp Road, Thousand Oaks

Join this seminar to:

  • Hear Camille Block share her heartfelt reflections on her life’s journey as the sister of a person with severe cerebral palsy quadriplegia
  • Engage in conversation to share your own reflections on caregiving
  • Gain encouragement, purpose, and new perspectives on the journey of caregiving

Camille Block is an author, entrepreneur and career coach and serves as conservator, advocate and “voice” for her beloved brother, Kevin, who lives with cerebral palsy quadriplegia. After earning a degree in social science from Pepperdine University, she set out on a lifelong pursuit of emotional and spiritual wholeness. Camille is driven by an empathetic heartache for her brother and a restlessness for answers that extend beyond shallow clichés. Her hope is to help give a voice to secondhand sufferers, offer practical tools leading to hope, and connect people to their purpose.
