Taking Care of Our Own
Aging and end-of-life care are experiences that touch all of our lives. Having conversations early and understanding how to advocate for ourselves and our loved ones can help us approach these transitions with greater care, confidence, and compassion.
Join Mari Matis Bishop Doula for this free workshop focused on aging advocacy and end-of-life care. This welcoming session is an opportunity to learn, ask questions, and explore ways we can better support ourselves, our families, and our communities.
Whether you’re planning ahead for yourself, helping an aging loved one, or simply interested in learning more, this workshop offers a thoughtful and supportive space for conversation and connection.
