- What help do you or your family member need?
- Who is able and willing to help?
- How do you make the most of a visit?
- What issues to you need to be aware of before moving a family member in your home?
- How might you manage family conflicts?
- What about caring for someone in a facility?
During the presentation, you can learn how you could answer these questions.

As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games." The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed.
