Helping care for an aging parent, spouse, family member, or client can bring a lot of questions...
What’s the best next step?
How do families make decisions together?
What support strategies actually help?

Our new "Family Caregiving & Decision-Making" course is designed to make those conversations and decisions a little easier to navigate.

This 3-hour, online, self-paced course gives you practical tools to better understand:
✅ Common challenges family caregivers face
✅ Different caregiving strategies and when they may be effective
✅ Decision-making frameworks for eldercare situations

It’s a great fit for health care professionals, home care workers, nursing staff, family caregivers, and anyone who wants to feel more prepared when supporting older adults and their families.

You’ll learn from Kevin Doll, Ph.D., who brings deep experience in human development, aging, family healthcare decisions, bereavement, and caregiving education.

Registration is open now. Since the course is self-paced and open enrollment, you can fit it into your schedule when it works for you. 💙

All of our strengths can become limitations.
Sometimes, a well intended action can inadvertently prevent people from their growth opportunities.

Grief touches us all; some more than others and each in a different way. Grief can be sneaky and can be heavy. Gentleness and kindness provide effective catharsis.
