We’ll cover: How the job changes your loved one & what it means for your relationship; Common reactions (pulling away, shutting down, irritability); Tools for staying grounded, even when they won’t talk; How to support them without losing yourself. Led by local providers who specialize in responder families. No pressure to talk. Just show up. Free to attend. RSVP helpful, but not required. 2100 Beaser Ave. Northwood Tech, Conference Room 305.
