Critical Conversations

Adult Education hosts "Critical Conversations," for nine weeks during the Adult Education hour on Sunday mornings. We are making those classes available here for those who are not able to attend, but are interested in learning about each of these topics. 
   It is important to have the difficult and critical conversations in our lives sooner rather that later. Too many of us delay these conversations, causing stress and conflict because our loved ones haven’t been prepared for and aren’t aware of our wishes. This series is designed for those getting older or nearing the end of life, for those who have aging parents or relatives, and for anyone of all ages who wants to begin planning early. The topics will be led by a variety of facilitators with expertise on the topic of discussion. Much of the material for this series will come from "The Conversation Project" and you can peruse the website via this link: https://theconversationproject.org/

The conversations will all be taped and made available on our YouTube channel. Click on the link next to the conversations below to watch online.
