The holidays add a whole extra layer onto a role that's already full — more travel, more gatherings, more gift lists, more "just one more thing" on top of work and home and everything in between. This November, ACAP Indy Metro North is bringing caregivers a season-specific guide: real tips and tricks for juggling it all while still making the holidays feel like the holidays — for you and for the parent you love.
This isn't about getting through the season. It's about being present for the parts that matter — the family dinner, the tradition, the conversation — without work deadlines and to-do lists eating every ounce of your bandwidth. We'll cover how to balance career demands with caregiving during the busiest weeks of the year, what workplace supports and flexible options might already be available to you, and how to keep your relationship with your parent front and center even when the calendar is packed.
You'll walk away with:
- Ways to balance work, home, and caregiving specifically during high-demand holiday weeks
- Practical know-how on workplace policies, flexible arrangements, and supports you may not know you have access to
- Approaches for protecting the relationship and the traditions that matter most, even on a tight schedule
Whether you're new to caregiving or you've done this juggle for years, this program is designed to give you tools you can use before the season gets away from you.
