Caregiver Workshops

Clear, step-by-step guidance for families on services, benefits, and everyday supports. We teach about DDD, ALTCS, and mental health resources; how to understand and apply for different types of guardianships; financial arrangements that can fit individual needs; and practical tools for emotional regulation, mental-health shaping, and how positive affirmations influence behavior.

What we cover

  • Systems & benefits: eligibility, services, and navigation for DDD, ALTCS, VR, school supports, and mental-health resources.
  • Guardianship & decision-making: understanding options (e.g., limited/full guardianship, POA) and the application steps.
  • Financial arrangements: approaches families can consider to align with individual needs and resources.
  • Emotional regulation: everyday strategies, routines, and tools.
  • Mental-health shaping & affirmations: how reinforcement and positive affirmations influence behaviors.
  • Planning & documentation: timelines, checklists, and what to keep on file.

How it works

  • Interactive sessions with coached practice and Q&A.
  • Take-home checklists, timelines, and template scripts.
  • Real-world examples for applications and follow-through.
  • Optional 1:1 follow-ups to map next steps for your family.
