Program Description
Event Details
Tami Calais provides adult children with a compassionate roadmap for navigating the early signs of parental aging, offering practical tools to move from worry to clarity. By addressing the emotional weight of caregiving and the "how-to" of exploring support options, she helps families initiate confident, respectful conversations and identify realistic next steps with ease.
You’ve noticed changes in your aging parents. Nothing dramatic—yet—but something feels different. And with that comes questions, worry, and the quiet weight of “What do I do next?”
This class addresses five common questions many families struggle to ask:
- Why does this feel so heavy?
- When is the right time to step in?
- How do I start my research without getting overwhelmed?
- What options for support are available?
- How do I start a compassionate conversation about age-related changes?
Rather than focusing on fear or urgency, this class offers a grounded, supportive approach that balances emotional understanding with practical guidance. Participants will gain a clearer picture of what may be driving their concerns, learn how to begin exploring support options, and practice approaching difficult conversations with confidence and care.
Each attendee receives a guided worksheet to help them reflect on their situation and identify realistic next steps, whether they are planning ahead or responding to recent changes.
This class is for adult children who want clarity, reassurance, and direction before decisions feel urgent.
