In this engaging webinar, psychologist and scholar Dr. Christopher Walling explores how aging can be understood as a sacred developmental journey rather than simply a biological process.

What do heart disease, diabetes, asthma, cancer, dementia, kidney disease, and hypertension have in common? On the surface, not much. But from a family caregiver’s point of view? Quite a bit actually. Because they’re all chronic conditions meaning that they’re long-lasting health problems that require ongoing medical attention.

And often, ongoing care from you.

That’s why we’re focusing on chronic conditions in this Caregiver Conversation by Carallel. Join us as we talk through the day-to-day realities of supporting someone with a long-term illness, the challenges that can sneak up over time, and simple, practical tips that can make caregiving feel more manageable.

Moving to assisted living (or any kind of senior living community!) is a major life change — full of stress, sadness, relief, and a whole lot of logistics for everyone involved. While there’s no magic button we can press to make it easy, there are things we can be doing to make it (at least a little) easier. And that’s what we’ll be discussing in this Caregiver Conversation by Carallel.

Join us for some real talk about how to prepare for the move, talk through expectations, and make the new space feel familiar and comforting. And we’ll share pointers to help both of you get through the first few months more smoothly.
