Description:
Learning to balance the needs of a family can be difficult in and of itself. And when considering adding to the expectations of the family structure and routines can wreak havoc on the entire family. How does a family figure out the best way to bridge the generational gaps of raising children while potentially taking care of parents? How do you manage navigating service systems for family members experiencing challenges? How do you find time for yourself? These are the questions we will discuss and delve into during the Sandwich Generation session. We will discuss some helpful ways to support family engagement in the 21st century and have some meaningful conversation about the value and importance of self-care. Self-care will be the key to having successful outcomes for families. If you are struggling understanding how to maneuver these diverse scenarios and fill your toolkit with some helpful resources, the Sandwich Generation would be the perfect place to start.
Objectives:
- Learn essential tips to bridging the impact of 21st century ways.
- Discover what potentially has been lost in family engagement by the introduction of technology
- Gain useful tools to create/make intentional pathways going forward
- Balancing the needs of others and yourself
