Essential plans for the sandwich generation

Are you supporting aging parents and raising children? Or do you simply have a lot on your plate at this stage in your life and career? You might know that you should “have your affairs in order” but at the moment, that just feels like one more thing on an already long to-do list.

We’ll use a clear, practical framework to explore the foundational elements of personal planning: medical decision-making, legal documentation, and disposition options. You’ll gain some practical insight on how to talk to aging parents (no matter how much they’d prefer to avoid the conversation!). We’ll take a values-based, holistic approach to planning that acknowledges the emotional (but often invisible) labour this stage of life requires.

Interactive Elements:

• The Conversation Starter: Prompts and language for initiating plain-language planning discussions with family.
• Priority Sorting: Quick guided activity to determine your next best step in planning.

Key Takeaways:

• Clarity on where to start with “essential planning”
• Tools to begin difficult conversations with aging parents and loved ones.
