You've noticed the close calls: a dented mailbox, a missed turn, a story that didn't quite add up. You've thought about bringing up driving, then decided it wasn't the right day. This session uses the 4Ms framework to unpack both sides of one of caregiving's hardest conversations, with practical language for approaching it with empathy instead of ultimatums.

Somewhere between doctor's appointments, phone calls, and everyone else's needs, yours got pushed to the bottom of the list. Maybe you can't remember the last time you asked what you needed.

Caregiver Gatherings continue into spring, still a space to belong: share what you're navigating, offer advice, or simply listen. This session turns attention to you: what "not enough time" really means for working caregivers, and what sustainable self-care can actually look like. We'll briefly touch on the difference between burnout, stress, and compassion fatigue, then open the floor to talk about what's genuinely helped other caregivers find balance.

Your needs matter too. Whether this is your first gathering or you're returning from the fall, welcome.

For U of A employees & students caring for aging parents, in-laws, or other adult family members.
