Ever ask yourself “Why didn’t we learn that in school?” Yeah, us too. Get ready to level up your life with TCYP’s Adulting 101 series. A panel of professionals will crash course you into some serious adulting knowledge. Make sure to join us all four times in 2021, with a different topic each time.

What You’ll Learn:
How do we take care of our elderly family and friends? Chances are they’ve done a lot for you over the years and there may be ways to better assist them and say thank you! Learn about signs that may indicate someone needs additional care, what to look for in care facilities, and what types of care are available from the experts at Westminster Village. Near or far, there are volunteering opportunities and support organizations that we’ll learn about in this session. Last but not least, learn how you can help your mobility impaired family and friends walking, standing, and getting in and out of the car without harming them or yourself. Essential knowledge to be successful in assisting our elders.
