SUMMARY:Aging Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:SESSION INFO: « Back to all events\nWe cannot slow the aging process in ourselves or in the people we care for! As we get older\, our ability to care for our family member becomes more and more difficult. Planning our own future\, and the future of our loved ones can be a terrifying process. Will we be able to provide the necessary care? Will they be well cared for in the future\, after we are gone? What can we do to make the future easier? Connecting with other families in similar situations is the best way to problem solve and figure out what will work best for our specific situations. This is a new family hangout. Join our call with other “mature” parents and caregivers and we can problem solve together! \nSPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER: Jule Hopkins from PLAN coming to answer questions about planning:  wills\, estates\, trusts\, etc. \n  \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\n  \nYou are invited to join FSI CONTINUING CONVERSATIONS\, a private Facebook Group intended to continue conversations of support or provide an alternative platform for support. www.facebook.com/groups/fsicontinuingconversations/ \nAfter the session you are encouraged to share your feedback.
