On March 25, 2026, in partnership with The New Canaan Library and The New Canaan Community Foundation, Staying Put in New Canaan sponsored a discussion led by Janet Simpson Benvenuti, founder of Circle of Life Partners and author of Don’t Give Up on Me! Supporting Aging Parents Successfully.

Do you feel prepared to support aging parents with confidence? Are you also thinking ahead about your own longevity? If so, this video may be helpful.

Janet brought a rare blend of expertise and empathy, shaped by her background as a scientist and pharmaceutical executive, and by her own experience in her thirties juggling a household with two demanding careers, two parents in declining health, and two toddlers. Her insights were practical, compassionate, and real. With 20 years of experience in this field, Janet is one of the nation’s leading advocates for families navigating aging.
