The typical age of the audience is 40 years of age and older. Many of the participants typically serve in a caregiver role and have come to realize how daunting it can be to provide support to someone who is aging or ill.

When loved ones age or become ill, families tend to focus on medical management. Our focus is on the overall life experience.

This workshop is important because most people are inexperienced and do the best they don't know how to do. The workshops would also be great for students concerned about loved ones, students studying to become health care professionals, as we will be addressing the more humanistic aspects of care.

Each workshop will be divided into two one-hour sessions with a 15-minute break in between. We will be sharing information, examples, stories, challenging people to think through issues, sharing exercises, answering questions and more.

Hop [in] the car with your loved one and go for a drive to determine if there are any potential concerns. Don't just assume because a person is older that he or she is unsafe to drive. Also, if a person does have any type of limitations, see if there are ways to help someone sharpen his or her driving skills.
