This workshop will provide step-by-step instructions for preparing a petition for Guardianship of an adult who requires guardianship. Please note, this workshop is not for families trying to determine whether guardianship is right for them. This time will be spent discussing the nuances of the petition, and the procedural steps that will happen once a petition is filed. Join Laura Akins Smith, attorney at Nadler Biernath.

Fathers’ Group is a place where fathers can share their experiences, support one another, and build their toolbox to parent more confidently. We will be having a good conversation over Zoom.
Parenting can be demanding, frustrating, and at times stressful long after the child is grown. Autistic children can often have unique challenges. Parent Support Groups provide feedback, support, and perspective from peers on a variety of common issues. Groups are meant strictly for parents and do not include the Autistic child. Advanced registration is required.
This multi-session group is designed for parents and family members of Autistic high school teens. This group is limited to 15 participants for caregivers to connect with one another and share information.
Career coaching is evolving rapidly in a more competitive, weirder, and less personal job search landscape. Meanwhile, we help clients navigate the modern job market with all its technical tasks, networking challenges, and stress. In Part 1, we explored ways to use the modern resume as the foundation for every step in the job search process – from targeting jobs to networking.
This workshop dives into the real coaching dilemmas that can keep you up at night: the client who can’t see their own value or doesn’t want to seem fake, who is losing track of targeted resumes, or who struggles with consistently describing themselves for networking and with social finesse. How do you work with, instead of against, resume ATS (Applicant Tracking Software)? Drawing from your submitted questions and tough scenarios, this interactive session gives proven answers and opens up collaborative brainstorming. Come ready to collaborate, problem-solve, and leave with time-tested strategies. This is where theory meets the messy, beautiful reality of coaching real people through career transitions. Advanced registration is required.
