“A ship is safe at shore, but that is not what it was built for.” –Albert Einstein
Does preoccupation with safety hurt quality-of-life? Are we so safe that we’re ineffective? Families, health care providers, clients, and yes, even we, wrestle with when and how:
- to accommodate a challenge AND keep doing what makes us tick
- to assist and keep ‘what matters’ most’
- to acquiesce to significant challenges, accept ‘help’ AND preserve meaning and relevance
Join Pat as she presents how to help clients to ‘thrive in place’ for as long as possible. Translation: Nudge health-brain-strength+play spans closer to lifespans.
Free registration is made possible by the MedFit Education Foundation. Please consider donating to support our mission.
