Caring for a family member or close friend is one of the most important roles you'll ever play. Everyone's caregiving journey is unique, and regardless of where your role falls on the wide spectrum of caregiving tasks and responsibilities, we want to make it easier.  Whether you anticipate future family caregiving or are currently taking care of a love one, during this session we will help you get organized, determine your loved one's needs and resources, create your caregiving plan - including how to care for yourself - and find out. You will also have the opportunity to connect with other family caregivers to exchange support, tips, and advice.
