Consulting

As the late First Lady Rosalyn Carter said, “There are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers.” My advice is to plan now so you don’t have to worry later. I offer a variety of consulting services including public speaking based on my personal experience, training and my graduate research. I first and foremost offer compassion and aim to meet you where you are at in your caregiving journey. Whether you desire 1:1, family or group support my goal is to help people feel more confident with their caregiving experiences. My offerings include but are not limited to:

Effective care plans

Advocating for care with and without insurance

Managing family dynamics

Accessing community resources

Addressing financial considerations

Self and Community Care (ie. Self-Compassion and Mindfulness practices)

Local and national policy reviews and education (how these policy impact you)

Evolving the Discourse on Family Caregiving Forum: this is 3-hour community workshop for your business, department, or family. The forum aims to explore the current discourse surrounding the experiences of family caregivers in effort to evolve new narratives to empower and create community within social systems for care partners. This forum will provide a platform for sharing experiences and learning from experts in the field on family caregiving/partnering. Whether you are a caregiver yourself or interested in the evolving landscape of family caregiving, this event is perfect for you.
