SUMMARY:Calling All Caregivers: Age Well to End Well with Jane Barton

So\, let’s chat about the variables that impact our lived experience – health\, wealth\, location\, support system\, access to health care\, and much more. Doing everything we can to be well\, age well\, and live well is a worthwhile endeavor. The program is FREE. Registration is REQUIRED. Click on the LINK to register.

SUMMARY:The Potential Consequences of Caring Virtual Lunch & Learn with Jane Barton
DESCRIPTION:The Potential Consequences of Caring \nThe call to care for a family member or friend is often a life-changing event for all concerned. Since the average duration of care in the U.S. is now over 4 years\, the role of family caregiver demands a commitment to care. All aspects of life are turned upside down when a chronic\, life-limiting disease process arrives on scene. Family caregivers strive to meet the daily demands of care — sometimes struggling to cover all of the bases. Because this is such a significant turning point in life\, have you ever wondered about the long-term consequences of caring? In order to care well and to be well (now and in the future)\, reflecting on this question is prudent. The program is FREE. Registration is REQUIRED. Click on the LINK to register.

SUMMARY:Autism Resource Fair
DESCRIPTION:The Largest Autism Resource Fair in Colorado! \nNow in its 13th year\, the annual Autism Resource Fair is a favorite Colorado autism community tradition. Nowhere else do so many families and individuals on the spectrum come together with the sole purpose of gathering resources and connecting with providers. THIS IS THE ONE EVERYONE LOOKS FORWARD TO EACH YEAR! The Autism Resource Fair addresses the most fundamental challenges of the autism community: Autism is isolating\, resources are scarce\, and information is hard to find. With a huge range of service providers and advocacy organizations\, burgers and lots of activities for the kids\, entire families come to learn and laugh and feel very much part of a supportive community. It’s a magical day and we hope you will join us!
