Virtual- Book Club
2026-05-21 20:00 - 21:00 | AZ
Dearest Gentile Reader,
One must commend this particular book club for its most accommodating nature—quite as adaptable as all our other offerings. Upon registering, you are by no means bound by rigid obligation; rather, you may drift in and out of the club’s delights throughout the year as whim and inclination allow. Should a chosen volume pique your interest, by all means indulge in its pages and present yourself at the gathering. And if the following month’s selection fails to stir your enthusiasm? Think nothing of it—simply return when a more tempting title appears.
With such a generous assortment of books and genres on offer, it would be positively scandalous not to find one to your liking. Select your pleasure, dear reader, and do join the fun.

Phoenix/Hybrid-Caregiving with Clarity
2026-05-29 10:00 - 15:00 | Legacy Place, 360 E. Coronado Rd., Phoenix, AZ, 85004, United States
When parents get a disability diagnosis for a child, they aren’t given space to process the emotions that come with a diagnosis. Most go right to work. They start calling doctors and therapists. They start scheduling appointments, and they start figuring out how to navigate different systems of care.
They do it all without the emotional support they need.
Caregivers will learn:

to find meaning in the most challenging parts of their parenting journey
their thoughts influence emotions and behaviors
to take control of their thoughts to establish a new mindset
simple tips and strategies to make time for self-care
create goals for them and their child
to identify stress before it takes over
