π βοΈ The Family Healthcare Playbook is Going Back Out On The Road! Countdown to National Caregivers Month! β¨
π October brings apple cider, warm, cozy soups (butternut squash, anyone?), and a reminder: National Family Caregivers Month is just a few weeks away in November!
π΄ Building on the incredible energy and community response to our #SummerSandbox Series, The Family Healthcare Playbook is launching the πͺπΌ Can-Do Caregiver's Fall Sprint πͺπΌ, a dedicated series of in-person and virtual activities that provide education, resources, support, and new ideas for caregivers across the country. We're heading back out on the road with stops in the Bay Area, Houston, Washington, D.C., and New York to support this programming, and I'll be hosting caregiving conversations and Caregivers Action Labs designed to help you Stay Ready, So You Don't Have to Get Ready!
As a proud #LovableAmbassador, I'll also be hosting Lovable Build labs, showing current and soon-to-be caregivers how to turn daily caregiving stressors into helpful digital tools.
