In this first episode of The Art of Care mini-series, Amber shares wisdom from Loretta Woodward Veney — author, inspirational speaker, and Certified LEGO Serious Play Facilitator.

Whether you’re a direct care team member, life enrichment professional, or family caregiver, Loretta’s message will remind you that there’s no wrong way to build — only stories waiting to be told.
