Our Story
Care Forward Academy was founded in 2025 in St. Louis, Missouri and was built from both clinical expertise and real-life caregiving—where high expectations too often meet limited support. We offer strategic consulting & education services by partnering with professionals, organizations, and family-serving systems to provide education, consultation, and resource development.
CareForward Academy offers consultation through a disability-affirmative and rehabilitation psychology lens to help organizations better support aging and disabled individuals. This includes:
Disability-inclusive review of client-facing materials
Aging and disability education for teams
Psychosocial consultation around caregiving and care planning
Practical recommendations to support dignity, autonomy, and quality of life
