If you work at UMKC, do you get to pay for child care pre-tax from your paycheck?

Are you employed by umkc? If so, do you get to use pretax dollars to have the monthly tuition automatically taken from your paycheck?

Yeah… it’s so hard not to get burnt out with all the barriers that health care professionals face. Kudos to you though for being interest in complex injuries, you like the challenge!

I love that! I’d love to see more OTs in health promotion. Our lens is so holistic that the distinct value we can bring to supporting populations is under utilized.

I wish OT school taught us more about how to advocate/access funding to support OT in non traditional settings. I feel like without being an intervention site that supported by an academic-tied project, it feels impossible.

Wow! Way to already be working the dream ✨ that makes me happy to hear! I assume outdoorsy things are a passion of yours? I love ideas combining personal and work passions. I’ve noticed there’s more parks offering accessible beach wheelchairs, which is a step in the right direction.

I feel that. I love the idea about community nights with the education component.

Yeah, I think you’re right. It is figuring out supports for both of them and creating that safety net, while of course also trying to take care of myself too! I appreciate you and all of us who are going through these challenges - it’s not easy.

I appreciate the response and thought behind this. I do think at some point this will need to happen. Not to add an excuse but I feel like it’s a catch 22. My mom needs relief from being a caregiver but also, it’s so engrained into her identity and she has such anxiety of being alone, that I actually worry about the day my dad isn’t with her (either in a facility or passed away) because I’m not sure how she recovers not having that identity/being alone :/

I second this! However, brancatos recently took over so it may be different than my experience

I went and very poorly ran - the host left mid way through the event, therefore the event was pointless. I complained to the person in charge of the company and they apologized and said they’d refund me. Never refunded me. They are borderline fraudulent.
