But wanting one and knowing where to start are two different things. This interactive workshop offers a five-step model and the 4Ms framework, plus downloadable worksheets, so you leave with something started, not just something to think about. Offered once each semester.
Dec 02 The Gift of Giving: Choosing What Matters Most for Your Child 11 – 11:30 a.m., Dec. 2, 2026 The best holiday gifts are not necessarily the most expensive or newest one.

Dec 02 Caregiver Gatherings: Building Our Circle of Support 11:30 a.m. – 12:15 p.m., Dec. 2, 2026 You've been the one everyone calls: the one who remembers appointments, refills prescriptions, answers the late-night texts. This session turns attention to who and what surrounds caregivers, including each other. We'll review respite care and community resources, then talk about what makes it easier to ask for and accept help.
Dec 03 Balancing the holidays with social anxiety 11 – 11:30 a.m., Dec. 3, 2026 The holidays can be a stressful time of year, especially with social anxiety. Learning what social anxiety is and how to find health coping strategies can help provide balance through the holiday season.
Dec 09 Caregiving Year in Review 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., Dec. 9, 2026 Think back to January.

This year-end session offers a framework for reflecting on both the challenges and the growth, with tools for setting realistic, sustainable goals that honor your needs and your loved one's before the new year picks up speed.
