Create a space where your parents feel comfortable receiving your care and support.

Respectfully supporting aging parents can be challenging. They’re often protecting their autonomy, while you want to help.

This class will guide you through understanding available resources, knowing who to call for support, and—most importantly—how to start effective, compassionate conversations about change.

Using principles from Motivational Interviewing, an evidence-based approach for navigating change, you’ll learn how to create a safe space where your parents feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore options.

We get it—adding another task to your already full plate feels overwhelming. That’s why this class is flexible: join live virtually or access the pre-recorded version online.

Whether you prefer to watch at your own pace or ask a live expert for real-world solutions, the choice is yours. Learning how to support your aging parents doesn’t have to add stress—it can fit seamlessly into your schedule.

Help Your Parents Get the Support They Need—With Confidence and Compassion

Enroll Now

As an adult child to an aging parent, I know we all want to honor and support their wishes. Understanding the available options and solutions gives confidence—so that if the moment comes, you know how to step in and help, respectfully and effectively.

That’s why I offer a range of classes on communication, connection, and navigating change. My goal is to help families interact in ways that honor autonomy and empower seniors—fostering healthy family dynamics and ensuring older adults feel truly supported by their loved ones.
