SUMMARY:WiFCC & Jockey Being Family Caregiver Getaway: Madison
DESCRIPTION:Registration for this event is required on Eventbrite. \n\n\n\n\nParents and caregivers (adoptive\, foster\, guardianship\, kinship/relative\, and reunified caregivers who reside in Wisconsin) – you deserve a day for YOU! We invite you to take a night away and join the Wisconsin Family Connections Center to focus on caring for yourself. Attend as an individual or as a couple\, both are welcome! Our speaker\, Jess Dallman\, will guide us through the day at the Holy Wisdom Monastery in Middleton. This day is meant to incorporate connection\, learning\, and rest to help you re-charge. You will notice the day begins a bit late and ends a bit early\, because we wanted to build intentional time for slowness into this opportunity (as well as give anyone traveling some extra morning time). \nRegistration for this getaway is open to any adoptive\, foster\, guardianship\, kinship/relative\, and reunified caregivers who reside in Wisconsin. WiFCC staff will provide you with a certificate of attendance (3 hours) for ongoing education documentation\, if needed. Registrants must be in attendance for Saturday’s programming in order to be eligible for hotel and childcare reimbursements. \nINCLUDED in this free getaway for you:\n-A one-night hotel reimbursement of up to $125*\n-Saturday programming & lunch\n-Child care reimbursement(up to $50/one child or $100/family) \nAGENDA FOR THE DAY\n9:30-10 Check-in (fruit and coffee available)\n10-11:30 Morning Session\n11:30-12:30 Lunch (provided) & time to connect with other attendees\n12:30-2 Afternoon Session \nPlease note:\n-This is an adults only event\, and no child care will be available on-site.
