MOON TOWNSHIP, PA, Feb 4, 2025 (PittsburghNewsWire.com) — Hope Grows is excited to invite family caregivers and those experiencing a loss to its inaugural broadcast of a 4-part seasonal webinar series designed to offer both practical cooking tips and emotional support during their caregiving journey.

“In the Kitchen with Hope Grows” free webinar will take place on Friday, February 21 at 12:30pm EST (9:30am PST), featuring a demonstration on how to make a nourishing soup, paired with an open conversation about the unique challenges of caregiving and grief, and the importance of caregiver mentorship.

This first webinar on National Caregiver Day will be moderated by Lisa Story, MSCP, LPC, CT, Founder and Clinical Director of Hope Grows, and Lisa Iadicicco, Executive Director. Iris Respite House Chef Barbie Custer will guide participants through a simple and hearty soup recipe, while Phyllis Rupert from the Root of Good Care Counseling team will engage special caregiver guests in a candid discussion about the ups and downs of caregiving. Experienced family caregivers will share their personal stories, offering advice, support, and encouragement for those caring for or grieving the loss of a loved one.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Soup Demonstration: A pre-recorded step-by-step guide to making a nutritious and comforting soup, perfect for busy caregivers.
  • Caregiver2Caregiver Mentorship Program: Discussions on the significance of caregiver mentorship and how it can help reduce isolation.
  • Q&A Opportunities: A Q&A session for participants to learn more about Hope Grows’ programs and services.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
This webinar is free to attend and open to all family caregivers seeking inspiration and guidance. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, participate in the discussion, and leave with new tools and perspectives to help them thrive on their caregiving journey.

“Caregiving is an emotional and often overwhelming journey,” said Lisa Story. “Our goal is to provide caregivers with not just a new recipe to make for their families, but also a space where they can connect, share experiences, and gain the mentorship they need to support both themselves and their loved ones. This webinar series will offer practical skills for daily caregiving while emphasizing the importance of mentorship and community support for those on this path.”
