The Unfiltered Hour
A supportive virtual space for caregivers to share what’s really going on: honestly, openly, and without pressure to stay positive or have it all figured out. This guided hour offers a place to let out what’s been weighing on you, be witnessed by others who understand, and release the emotional load you’ve been carrying.
There’s no fixing, no advice unless requested, and no expectation to find a silver lining. Just real talk, gentle facilitation, and connection in community.
This is not a therapy or crisis-intervention space, but a peer-supported gathering rooted in compassion, boundaries, and shared understanding.
A soft landing for the hard stuff.
Offered as a monthly virtual event – 2nd Friday 12:00pm-1:00pm

Virtual- Book Club
2026-11-19 20:00 - 21:00, 2026-12-17 20:00 - 21:00 | Arizona
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.

Caregivers After Dark
(formerly BYOB)
Caregivers After Dark is your permission slip to unwind whenever you’re finally able to make it.
This virtual, after-hours gathering is designed for fun, ease, and simply being, not venting or problem-solving. Bring a beverage, get comfortable, and drop in for light conversation, laughter, or quiet connection with other caregivers who understand that personal time doesn’t start until late.
Running behind? Come late. Need to leave early? That’s okay too. This space honors the unpredictable rhythms of caregiving and meets you where you are.
Unlike The Unfiltered Hour, this is not a place to process the hard stuff: it’s a low-pressure, come-as-you-are hangout meant to help you exhale at the end of the day.
No agenda. No expectations.Just caregivers and community to close out your night.

Caregiving with Clarity
2026-11-27 10:00 - 15:00, 2026-12-12 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

Who Am I? — A Monthly Self-Discovery Workshop for Caregivers
Caregiving can make it easy to lose sight of the person you were — and the person you’re becoming.Who Am I? is a reimagined monthly mini-workshop series designed to help caregivers reconnect with themselves through guided conversations, skill-building, and thought-provoking activities led by expert guest speakers.

Whether you’re exploring new hobbies, rebuilding confidence, finding community, or uncovering parts of yourself you’ve put on hold, this series creates a supportive space for curiosity, connection, and renewal.
