Bring Families Together with the Now What? Book Club Kit

A free resource to help you lead powerful conversations around Seniors' Care

When a loved one moves into long term care, it’s not just a logistical shift. It’s an emotional one.

When a loved one moves into long term care, it’s not just a logistical shift. It’s an emotional one. That’s why the Now What? Book Club Kit was created—to help families process those emotions together. Each session is based on a chapter from Now What? Managing the Emotional Journey of Long Term Care for Families by Deborah Bakti.

The book is a compassionate and relatable guide that helps families navigate the ups and downs of this major life transition. More importantly, it offers a way to connect over shared experiences.

Unlike a typical book club, this one creates a supportive space where families can share stories, ask questions, and feel less alone.

Praise For The 'Now What?' Book Club Kit

"Leading these book clubs was one of the most meaningful things I’ve done as a family member. Using the Now What? Book Club Kit, I saw firsthand how it creates a safe, welcoming space for caregivers to feel seen, supported, and not so alone. The guided structure opens the door for honest conversations and shared stories that lead to real connection and healing. It’s more than a book club, it’s a catalyst for changing how we show up in caregiving, for ourselves and each other."
