Learn Supportive Tools and Techniques

Workshops

Our team offers clinical and psychosocial expertise to healthcare professionals and community members interested in learning about new models of care and expansive ways to support aging well, dementia care, palliative and end-of-life care, grief & bereavement, and family support.

Our workshops are designed to do more than inform—they engage, equip, and inspire.

Led by trusted experts in palliative care, end-of-life planning, grief and bereavement, aging well, dementia care, and related fields, each session combines research-based knowledge with hands-on, practical guidance.

Through interactive exercises, reflective prompts, and group discussions, participants gain tools they can apply immediately in professional care settings, within families, and in communities. Whether you’re expanding professional expertise or seeking deeper personal understanding, these workshops provide clarity, confidence, and compassion to navigate life’s transitions.

Dementia Care Partner Online Workshop

From Overwhelmed to Empowered: Creating Your Dementia Care Support Plan:
Facilitated by: Lori Krause

A compassionate online workshop designed for dementia care partners navigating uncertainty—offering practical guidance, emotional support, and a clearer path forward.

Caring for someone with dementia can feel like living in a constant state of uncertainty. The rules keep changing. The questions keep coming. And many care partners are quietly carrying the emotional and logistical weight on their own.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, unsure what comes next, or uncertain how to support those you care for and yourself, this workshop was created for you.
