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.<\/p>\n\n

You've stood in the cereal aisle wondering if \"6g sugar\" is a problem or just what's naturally in the milk. This 30-minute workshop breaks down added versus naturally occurring sugars, how to spot added sugar on a label, and why fruit and dairy sugars belong in your kid's diet. Leave with practical ways to build healthier eating habits without cutting out the foods your children need.<\/p>\n\n

You sat down to think through what a parent or spouse might need, and didn't know where to start. Maybe you didn't even know what questions to ask.<\/p>\n\n

Caregiver Gatherings is a virtual space to belong: share what you're navigating, offer advice, or simply listen. This month, we'll talk honestly about how caregiving journeys begin, sometimes all at once, sometimes one small moment at a time, and the particular challenge of not knowing where to start.<\/p>\n\n

Caregivers further along often hold real insight for those just getting their footing. This is not a therapeutic support group, but rather a casual gathering to discuss the practical aspects of caregiving.<\/p>\n\n

We'll open with a brief look at Age-Friendly Health Systems (4M's Framework): what matters most, medication, mentation, and mobility, then turn the floor over to conversation.<\/p>\n\n

You don't have to have all the answers. You just have to start somewhere, and you don't have to start alone.<\/p>\n\n

Maybe your sleep has changed, or your patience feels shorter than it used to, and you're not sure why. Perimenopause can start years before periods stop, and the symptoms aren't always obvious. This session covers what's typical during this transition and how nutrition, activity, and medical therapy can support you through it. For anyone in it or wondering if they're starting it.<\/p>\n\n

Maybe you track your weight out of habit, or maybe you avoid the scale altogether. Either way, the number alone doesn't tell the whole story. This session covers how to track your weight in a way that's actually useful, plus the everyday lifestyle changes that support long-term health and lower disease risk. For anyone ready to look past the number.<\/p>\n\n
