Lunch & Learn – When We’re Dreading the Conversation
June 24 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Care Partners and Cook County Higher Education are pleased to present a Lunch & Learn series designed to support aging well in Cook County! Presented on the fourth Wednesday of the month from noon to 1pm at Cook County Higher Education, these free Lunch & Learn classes feature speakers from area organizations like Sawtooth Mountain Clinic, AARP, Arrowhead Area Agency on Aging, and more! You can join online OR in person at Cook County Higher Education. Thanks to the generosity of individual donors and granting organizations, a light lunch is provided free of charge for those who are able to attend in person.
It’s all too easy to put off important conversations with our loved ones – especially when we worry those discussions might result in conflict or misunderstanding. Yet there are moments when we also know that like it or not, it’s time to talk. In June we’re excited to welcome Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker Erika Figueira-Basheer as our guest presenter. Erika will give us tips for figuring out why we’re avoiding a conversation, thinking through what we want to say (and how we want to say it), and stepping beyond our fear to invite healthy, honest dialogue with the people we love. Register here!
