Caregiver Workshops

"This is the first workshop I have attended for siblings that allowed me to focus on my needs. It's also the first time I've been able to express my concerns as a sibling. The environment is nonjudgmental and the focus on training and skills is really helpful for dealing with stress.”

"I like that the caregiver facilitator had lived-experience. This provided a sense of trust and safety and also validated the material as being personally relevant."

"The clinicians were vulnerable and authentic throughout making it very different from a clinical interaction."

"The workshop was a place to feel judgment free and vulnerable with others that are sharing the same types of struggles.. It was refreshing and validating to understand that it is ok to have feelings and be overwhelmed."

"I believe the ideas/concepts taught in the workshop are universal and very practical."

"I would recommend this workshop to other caregivers. As caregivers we need to have a sense of value, community and successful ways to cope and empower ourselves."

"I found this workshop incredibly helpful. It was a great blend of helpful strategies as well as connecting with others in the same boat."

"This is the first workshop I have attended for siblings that allowed me to focus on my needs. It's also the first time I've been able to express my concerns as a sibling. The environment is nonjudgmental and the focus on training and skills is really helpful for dealing with stress related to my sibling but can be applied in other aspects of my life."

"I loved the workshop! Thank you to all the facilitators! I feel much more supported and much less alone than I ever have during my 27 years of parenting. I am very grateful for this. Thank you."

" I appreciated the facilitators being vulnerable as well, they were both great role models for acceptance, strength, and change. I think this should be mandated as a prerequisite parenting class!!"

"I loved that caregivers and clinicians co-facilitated the workshop together.  Demonstrated collaboration and a feeling of focus on the participants.  I felt multiple perspectives were considered and included."

"I thought it was really helpful to have a parent facilitator - when they shared their strategies, it felt even more authentic and manageable for my own life."
