When was the last time you had a genuine break? Time to reflect upon all you have endured and what might be ahead. Connect with your spouse or partner and others who have similar challenges as parents raising special-needs children, building friendships with others you will meet during your weekend. Laugh at caregiver-oriented humor shared around a campfire with others who could become lifelong friends, as you hear stories of courage and breakthrough during your weekend. It is a powerful experience!

The Caregiver Weekend Summit is an investment in yourself and your important relationships, so you can move forward with a renewed perspective and live your best life. It’s easy to assume that there is no way you can take time to focus on yourself and the relationship with your life partner. However, what are the consequences of not doing it? And given that many parents of special-needs children are single, this weekend allows you to get to know other people who lead similar lives, which is comforting to know. In a relationship or not, these weekend summits are amazing.

It’s essential to your mental health and overall well-being to find some respite, connection and inspiration from others experiencing similar lifelong journeys. The program can be transformational, even life-changing, as you use a step-by-step process to address/assess/deal with some of the tough stuff that may be going on in your life and family. During the weekend, you will create a customized Personal Caregiver Roadmap to better manage the challenges ahead on an ongoing basis, laying the groundwork for a better (and hopefully a happier) life as you move forward, thanks to this step-by-step process that will help you better navigate/manage the hills and valleys of your own caregiver journey.
