Parent & Caregiver Workshops
Through our Bridge to Tomorrow™ series and Critical Care Planning support, Julia Holman, End-of-Life Practitioner (ELP), helps families take the first steps in preparing for the unexpected.
It begins with a question no parent or caregiver ever wants to ask: What would happen if I couldn't be there tomorrow?
These conversations are hard, but they are acts of love. With gentle guidance, we help families speak the words that feel impossible, honor the fears they carry, and build a future of care and protection for the ones they love most.
