In terms of dollars and cents, this program can easily pay for itself many times over by preventing just one trip to the emergency room or by delaying admission to a care facility by even one month.
But what really matters is the peace of mind knowing you're doing your best for your loved one.
You can ensure they have the best care and quality of life possible - and you don't have to sacrifice your health or happiness to do it. With the right support you can be a fantastic family caregiver, and care for your own needs at the same time.

This comprehensive 8-week program

We'll identify concerns early on
and focus on minimizing and preventing problems
and helping you and your loved one
live your best life together.
As a caregiver, do you sometimes feel:
Unclear?
Confused?
Stressed?
Resentful?
Afraid you're on the path to regret?
Barely able to manage some days
When you’ve completed the Support Plan for Family Caregivers you'll feel confident in your choices and fulfilled in the knowledge that you're doing your best for yourself and your loved one.
One day you'll be able to reflect back on your caregiving journey as a sacred time
of growth, connection, and opportunity.
You'll feel more:
- Confident
- Successful
- Supported
- Guided
You'll enjoy:
- Better relationship with your loved one
- Being more present and mindful
- Responding to challenges calmly and effectively
- A more positive caregiving experience
Once you're out of crisis mode,
your stress level falls and you can think more clearly.
You can stop reacting frantically
and start responding thoughtfully.
This empowers you to best support your loved one
and set up a sustainable and successful caregiving experience.
We'll acknowledge your losses and start the process of grieving them.
This clears the way for you to accept your relationship with your loved one for what it is instead of focusing on what it isn’t.
You'll experience a greater sense of peace.
You’ll also reclaim a lot of time and energy.
(It takes a lot to continually resist, struggle, and suffer.)
You’ll learn how to communicate more effectively with your loved one, which will translate to fewer behavioral challenges.
The net effect is that both you and your loved one
will be able to feel and function at your best.
We'll plans for care needs, emergency situations, and caregiver support to help you stay afloat during the toughest times ahead.

to respond to challenges quickly and confidently.
