SUMMARY:Building Your Toolbox for Caregivers: Creating a Balanced Support System
DESCRIPTION:As young adults are transitioning into employment\, caregivers are transitioning from the role of manager to that of consultant for their young adults. This transition can be challenging for all parties and create feelings of tension\, stress and anxiety. \n\n\n\nIn this strengths-based workshop we will explore the importance of maintaining a balanced support system for both caregivers and young adults during the transition to independence. \n\n\n\nPlease note: caregivers do not need to be parents in order to attend this workshop. Caregivers can be legal guardians\, supportive roommates\, natural supports\, or family members. \n\n\n\nParticipants will gain the knowledge and skills to: \n\n\n\n\nReflect on and outline their own support needs during their young adult’s transition to independence\n\n\n\nIdentify the natural and community supports that they already have access to\, and which supports are missing or needed\n\n\n\nThink about factors that influence their comfort in accessing and leaning into supports\n\n\n\nBe aware of community resources that support caregivers and young adults through this transition\n\n\n\nModel and implement the use of strengths-based tools and strategies to support themselves and their young adults.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, April 226:00 – 7:30 p.m.In-person at The Ability Hub (300\, 3820 24 Avenue NW) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpace in this session is limited\, and registration is required through Sinneave Connects.
