黑料吃瓜资源 Caregiver Conversation Series
The 黑料吃瓜资源 Caregiver Conversation Series brings together 黑料吃瓜资源 employees, who are parents or caregivers, for thoughtful, research-informed dialogue. Sessions are structured as a facilitated conversation with opportunities for learning, shared reflection, and audience questions.
Join us for a conversation about childhood psychological assessment, viewed from two different lenses: that of a parent of young children who is wondering when and whether to seek an assessment, and that of a practicing psychologist who can speak to what the process involves and what families can expect. Whether you're considering an assessment for your child, supporting a family member through the process, or simply want to understand more about the childhood psychological assessment process, this session offers practical insights, professional guidance, and the reassurance that comes from shared experience. Following our speakers鈥 presentations, we鈥檒l open the floor for audience questions and community conversation.
Join us for an honest and compassionate discussion about caregiving through organ donation and transplant, including the challenges of stepping away from work and returning while managing unseen grief. This conversation will highlight the emotional and practical aspects of caregiving in the workplace.
