Workshop #1: Preparing Yourself, Your Loved One and Your Home for External Help

As a family caregiver your plate is full, you’re exhausted, you need and want help. Too often I notice that family caregivers assume that external supports  (paid caregivers or volunteers) can just jump in and do what’s best for their loved one and often end up disappointed when expectations aren’t met. 

You have to be intentional in how you set up yourself, prepare your loved one and prepare your home so that everyone has what they need to thrive.

In our 75 minutes together: 

• We will tackle our mindsets around welcoming in 'strangers' into the home 
• We will explore the systems needed to welcome and support external help into the home 
• We will strategize around intentionally preparing our loved ones for someone new to be with them 
• We will have open Q&A with Jessica and community members 

If you are thinking about or currently have a paid caregiver or volunteer in your home and you want to make the transition as smooth as possible then this workshop is for YOU!  Even if you are not at this stage yet, this workshop is for you so you can start thinking ahead and preparing before you reach crisis mode. 

This workshop is open to everyone--- future & current family caregivers and allies (aka the family member or friend who wants to be a better partner to the caregiver in their life).
