February's first topic of the month is hospice, palliative, and end-of-life care. You can get a head start on it on the blog! Our second topic will be pancreatic cancer and unexpected caregiving. Both blog posts and topics are brought to you by my capstone student this semester, Maria O'Brien !
What's New in 2025?

While all of the offerings are not yet live, the platform is ready to welcome members. This community has been created based on interest, feedback, and engagement over the past year. In this space, family caregivers can come together to learn, engage, and support one another through a community chat, virtual support groups, and various forms of educational content. The very first offering begins on Feb. 18th with the 8-week virtual education and support program for family caregivers! You can register here if you're interested.
