WORKSHOP: Public or Private

This workshop is for current and future caregivers and those they care for including friends and family. In 2023, AARP reported 21% of registered voters said they were currently caregivers, and 49% expected to be a caregiver in the future. Given that we are living longer and our health and resources are not keeping pace—this is an issue that affects us all in some way.

Target Audience:
Anyone currently a non-paid, family caregiver, expects to be one or will be (or are) receiving the care.
Given the breadth of this issue, we aim to attract those tangential to the immediate caregivers: friends, co-workers, other family members.
Workshop size: 5-40 people. Larger audiences can be accommodated with an additional facilitator (addt’l fee).
Format:
While developed as an in-person workshop, it can also be delivered virtually with smaller groupsCaregiving realities will be discussed from a wider lens. We encourage participants to candidly identify: caregiver strengths, preferences (caregiver and receiver), encourage a wider view of care team, identify gaps and next steps based upon priorities of current or future situations.
We’ll use the PDSC WHO CARES workbook, do short exercises in small groups and have community discussion. -

WORKSHOP
IN-PERSON
This workshop was created by award-winning playwright and actress, Bess Welden, inviting community to gather and create new rituals for remembering and honoring deaths.
Honor a death (of a loved one, a pet, or any type of death) through a simple art project, using paper and fabric to create a set of mini-wings. Not everyone wants to talk about death. Sometimes we need to use our hands and grab a pair of scissors!
