Caregiving 2021 FAQs

 
 

Want to suggest a friend attend but not sure what to say?

First of all, GO YOU! Thank you thank you thank you for supporting your people.

Here are a few tips:

  • Know that it’s okay if they don’t want to attend! What’s amazing and important is that you’re there to support them in whatever they need this year

  • If you really don’t feel comfy sending to them, consider sending to someone else who has a closer relationship with them - a partner, a family member, or a friend - esp if those people might want to attend with them in solidarity

  • Reach out in a way that feels comfortable and true to your existing relationship (you can send them a text, forward one of my email newsletters, DM them our promotional stuff on social, or bring it up in conversation)

  • ALWAYS feel free to tell them that my team is here to chat if they have questions! Here’s my email - tell them to get in touch: hello@alicaforneret.com :)

And we’ve also created a few scripts, in case you’d like extra help with the actual language:

“Hi! I have been thinking of you lately and I just heard about something for people who have lost their [mama/dad/grandparent]. This lady does a bunch of work around supporting people through grief. Would you be interested in me sending it over? Totally cool if not, just want you to know you’re on my mind.”

“Hey <3 I heard about this thing called Caregiving - it’s an event someone put together to support people who have lost a parent or guardian. Sending along the info in case you might be interested in attending.”

“Hey! Would you be interested in this?”

“I thought you might be interested in this - I know this time of year can be hard, and I’ve been thinking about you a lot. Could be a really nice way to connect with some other people who have lost their…”

“Thinking of you and how annoying this time of year can be. I saw this come up the other day and thought you might be interested in going!”

“I hope this is okay to send you - but I saw it was happening and thought of you!”

“I haven’t been sure how to support lately but if you’d be interested in attending this I would love to get you a ticket.”

What's new with 'Caregiving 2021'?

We're not just doing mamas anymore! This year, all of the events, content, and the whole shebang is expanding to include supporting you through the loss of any caregiver. Be that a mama, a papa, a grandparent, a mentor, a guardian, or otherwise.

We're expanding to TWO MONTHS instead of one weekend. Looots of you asked for Father's Day support last year, so here it is. Content drops will open Mother's Day weekend and wrap Father's Day weekend.

All events, content, and resources will be accessed in one centralized location on my website. Once you register for a ticket, zoom links, downloads, videos, replays, and more will all be accessible from your membership page AND email reminders.

I'm getting creative with the content (a.k.a. we won't just be on zoom!) Zoom fatigue is real (for me and prob you) and I wanted to create content that serves you whenever, wherever, and however you need it to. So we're talkin' written content, audio content, on-demand videos, print materials, and more. YAY!
