Family and Individual Coaching
Laurel works with families to explore areas of interest, concern or difficulty and to develop solutions. Generally, a pre-meeting phone call or exchange of email is conducted to help focus on issues, and to arrange for a meeting. In cases where meeting in person is not possible, conference calls can be used. Fees will be discussed privately and in advance of meeting.
In most cases, she is able to propose potentially successful solutions and resources after one or two sessions. Remember, Laurel is dedicated to empowering individuals to take on their own caregiving challenges as long as it is safe and practical. Also: Laurel is not a therapist or social worker, and does not provide therapeutic advice.
Workshops, Seminars and Guest Speaking
Laurel’s workshop and seminar offerings are presented in time modules. A minimum presentation of 30 minutes is generally needed to include sufficient information to make the talk worthwhile for participants. She also offers workshops in a series, and can tailor sessions for specific community needs or concerns. Fees are negotiable depending upon topic, audience and time.
Among her workshop clients are: Kehilla Community Synagogue, U.C. Berkeley, Alta Bates-Summit Hospital, the Contra Costa Senior Coalition, the Fall Prevention Program of Contra Costa County and various social service agencies in the Bay Area.
Laurel is affiliated with: American Society on Aging (member); SHARE (planning committee); the Alameda County Senior Injury Prevention Program (steering committee) and the Fall Prevention Program of Contra Costa County (education and medication safety committees).
