Taking Care Film Virtual Screening & Expert Panel Discussion

LIVE-Only Online Event April 20th, 2026 | Also Available for 2.0 BCPA CEs

Taking Care – Film Virtual Screening and Expert Panel Discussion

Join the HealthAdvocateX Community and expert panel for a live virtual screening and post-movie discussion of Taking Care. Taking Care is a 38-minute documentary that follows actor Seth Rogen and Lauren Miller Rogen as they face the challenges of Lauren’s mother’s early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Directed by award-winning filmmaker James Keach (Walk the Line; Glen Campbell… I’ll Be Me; Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice), the film captures the Rogens’ unique blend of humor and honesty as they navigate the challenges of caregiving. Taking Care is a story about family, resilience, and the power of taking action in the face of adversity. With expert insights and touching personal moments, the film is a powerful reminder of the difference we can all make in the effort to end Alzheimer’s.

After the live, virtual screening, HealthAdvocateX Expert Panelists will discuss the movie’s impact and call to action from a health advocacy perspective. This event is geared toward the public, health advocates and professionals who would like to learn more about how individuals can reduce their risk of dementia, how to help people caring for those living with dementia.

Objectives:

1. Identify evidence‑based actions individuals can take to reduce their risk of dementia and support long‑term brain health.
2. Understand concrete ways to help people who are caring for a loved one with dementia.
3. Learn where to find memory screening and how screenings may be helpful in early dementia detection.
