Take Five Program

It is time for you to take five minutes for yourself…

The Apricity Hope Project Take 5 Program offers caregivers a time and place where their cups are refilled – literally and metaphorically. We do this through our retreats, meetups and gatherings.

Meetups:

Caregiver Meetups are held at the Apricity Hideaway in Norfolk, VA unless otherwise noted. These are low key meetups where we can casually connect with fellow caregivers – outside of the hospital. Meetups require guests to reserve their spots with free “tickets” on AHP’s GiveButter platform. Meetups are free, but since they are limited to 10 guests / meetup, we require guests to sign up in advance.

We will continue to add dates throughout the year:

  • Monday May 13 from 10AM-12PM :  Coffee + Convo
  • Wednesday June 5 from 10AM-12PM: Coffee + Convo
  • July TBD – NICU Caregivers Meetup
  • Wednesday August 20 from 10AM-12PM: Coffee + Convo
  • Thursday September 12 from 10AM-12PM: Coffee + Convo
  • Tuesday October 1 from 10AM-12PM: Coffee + Convo
  • Tuesday December 3 from 10AM-12PM: Coffee + Cookies + Convo

These meetups are for caregivers only. While our children are incredible – they are not invited to these meetups. 

“Tickets” are required for the meetups so that we limited the gathering to 10ish caregivers. We want this to be a safe, calm, welcoming atmosphere so we are limiting the numbers to limit social anxiety and germs.
