Stress at work is common, but it doesn't always stay small. This workshop helps you spot the line between everyday job stress and burnout, understand how burnout shows up at work, and act before it takes a bigger toll. You'll leave with a clearer picture of where you stand and a plan to manage stress before it becomes harder to recover from.

You've filled out the same form three times because no one could tell you which office needed it. You've wondered if you're missing something on the financial or legal side of caregiving that everyone else seems to already know.

This session opens a candid conversation about the financial and legal side of caregiving: reduced work hours, long-term planning, and navigating insurance systems. Many people in this circle have already been through it and are ready to share real, tested advice with anyone still figuring it out.

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

A plan has probably crossed your mind more than once, whether that's during a routine visit or simply while thinking ahead. 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.

A fall. A missed medication. A stove left on. None of these are a crisis alone, but each raises the same question: how do you keep someone safe without taking away what makes their life feel like theirs? This session, closing our What Matters Most series, uses the 4Ms framework to assess safety concerns and find language that protects both safety and independence.

Whether you found this group in September or you're arriving today, caregiving probably looks different to you now than it did when you started, whichever day that was.

This final spring gathering revisits a question we asked back in September: what's changed since caregiving became part of your life? We'll open the floor to talk about caregiver identity beyond the role, celebrate the expertise this group has built together, and look at what LWC resources and programming continue from here.

New to the group? You're still welcome. This isn't an ending, just a good place to pause.

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