In 2023, AARP reported 21% of registered voters said they were currently caregivers, and 49% expected to be a caregiver in the future.  Given that we are living longer and our health and resources are not keeping pace—this is an issue that affects us all in some way.

    • Workshop size up to 45 people, with additional accommodations for larger groups.

    Format:

    While developed as an in-person workshop, it can also be delivered virtually with smaller groups

    Caregiving realities will be discussed from a wider lens. We encourage participants to candidly identify: caregiver strengths, preferences (caregiver and receiver), encourage a wider view of care team, identify gaps and next steps based upon priorities of current or future situations.

    Each participant will receive the expanded WHO CARES care-book along with other materials.

Honor a death (of a loved one, a pet, or any type of death) through a simple art project, using paper and fabric to create a set of mini-wings. Not everyone wants to talk about death. Sometimes we need to use our hands and grab a pair of scissors!
