WORKSHOPS
Advance planning is about more than healthcare. It’s about letting the people you love know your wishes, empowering them to be confident when the time comes to help, and bringing peace of mind to everyone involved. It’s about taking the time to consider what’s most important to you and understanding your options. It’s about taking care of the people we’ll leave behind, and making sure that lasting memories are filled with love. HG Foundation hosts free online workshops to guide individuals and give families peace of mind and confidence by being prepared.
SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE WHO CARE FOR A LOVED ONE
Taking care of your loved ones who are very ill or at the end of their lives is not an easy task. We know that you do it with love and compassion, but sometimes you forget to take care of yourself. We want to support you!
Join us and learn about self-care strategies, stress management practices, and ways to build resilience. This workshop will also provide you with a supportive environment where you can share experiences and connect with others facing similar challenges. The goal is to help you thrive, not just survive, in your important caregiving role.
