It’s not easy, and it can feel stressful and overwhelming. You’re not alone in knowing what to say, how to say it, and when. And, we’re here to help! We’ve helped thousands of families just like yours have “The Talk” with their loved ones.
"The Talk". I bet you thought once you got past the Birds and the Bees it would be easy sailing! Regardless of which talk it is, no one really wants to have, "the talk", it's awkward and stressful for all. Whether you are teaching your kids about the birds and the bees or discussing end of life care decisions with your parents, it's not easy. Conversations regarding Eldercare often carry an added layer of complexity as it's typically the adult child who needs to initiate these discussions with their parent. This dynamic blurs the boundaries, requiring a delicate balance between assuming a caregiving role while still being the child.
As if 1 "The Talk" isn't enough, there are actually 7 talks of Eldercare in Housing and Care.
In this workshop, you will gain the tools and confidence to assist your loved one in making decisions and setting goals, and by the end, you will have a clear path forward.
Each conversation will make preplanning and moving ahead to finding the best, safest solutions easier.
Throughout the last 20 years, Tea & Toast Founder Amy Friesen has had a front-row seat to see the types of struggles families have when navigating the Eldercare industry. From homecare to retirement living, and long-term care, families have difficulting knowing which choices will be the most successful.
Amy is motivated by the belief that seniors and caregivers need to be supported, aware, and informed when making important life transitions in eldercare to avoid unnecessary stress and overwhelm.
Amy is also a multi-award winner, author, podcaster, and Founder of Eldercare Planners Canada as well as Respite Request.
"I find "The Talk" to be an extremely valuable course that I wish we had had the fortitude to complete a number of years ago. As it is, just reading through it and completing several of the first sections has reinforced how unprepared we are for this stage of life."
We really enjoyed your workshop. I think we have done a lot of work with talks already, but we still found the information very helpful. It was so beneficial for us to do this together so we’re on the same page and we can create a plan going forward.Thank you for the work you did on it. It was very well done and professional.
"This is a phenomenal workshop. Every adult child of a senior parent(s) should take it. Everything is well laid out, easy to follow, uses plain language, is encouraging, not condescending, is straightforward, honest, and very helpful. In a nutshell, I love the whole course."
