Time to Transition
Thank you so much to those who were able to attend the Time to Transition event exploring aging in place or moving to long term care for seniors and caregivers. A recording of the event is now available.

It will be a space for holding thoughts and feelings in a transparent and accepting way. Please contact Christine Hershey with questions or if you are interested in participating.
