You\u2019ll also learn how Sandwiched KC helps people in caregiving roles connect with local support, shared wisdom, and a community that truly understands.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"879\" data-end=\"957\">Because even when life has you sandwiched, you don\u2019t have to carry it alone.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"879\" data-end=\"957\">\n<h3><b>Supporting Families, Together<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Family caregivers are the invisible backbone of our communities&#8230; quietly juggling work, family, and care for aging or ill loved ones, often without recognition or support. In this session, Sandwiched KC shares insights from the latest Caregiving in the U.S. 2025 report, explore what it truly means to be \u201csandwiched,\u201d and discuss practical ways human and senior service professionals can better support caregivers.<\/p>\n<p>Participants will learn how to identify caregivers within their existing programs, design flexible and accessible offerings (including on-demand and after-hours options), and build partnerships that strengthen family and community wellbeing. The session will also highlight opportunities to collaborate with Sandwiched KC, whose mission is to create opportunities for family caregivers to find local support and shared wisdom.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;EB Garamond|600|||||||&#8221; header_4_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_4_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; header_4_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_4_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_4_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; header_2_4_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_3_4_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_4_4_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_5_4_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_6_4_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_2_4_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_3_4_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_4_4_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_5_4_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_6_4_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_2_4_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_3_4_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_4_4_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_5_4_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_6_4_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Need something different?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"text-align: left;\">We can put together customized training sessions and workshops for your business, organization, or support group. <span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sandwichedkc.com\/contact\/\"><strong>Contact us<\/strong><\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>to inquire about customized opportunities to provide information and education to family caregivers you serve.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"text-align: left;\">If you would like to partner with Sandwiched KC to offer workshops and educational opportunities to family caregivers, please<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sandwichedkc.com\/contact\/\">get in touch with us<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Footer&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#EEEADD&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/sandwichedkc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blank-banner-scaled.png&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_center&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;4vw||4vw||true|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; title_text=&#8221;blank banner&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_cta title=&#8221;Have questions?
