Description

As parents age and need care, studies show that 40% of adult children experience serious disputes with their siblings regarding their parents' care. Add second marriages and blended families to the scenario and you have potentially explosive and destructive family conflicts. 
 
The Elder Care Conversations conference offers valuable strategies for effective family communication, whether planning ahead or in the heat of a crisis, that will bring your family together instead of dividing you apart. Mediation is a cutting-edge strategy new to the field of Elder Law designed for this very purpose.
 
Attendees will get tips and practical advice for addressing the issues that arise when caring for ill, elderly or disabled older adults, including stepping up versus taking over, equitable division of caregiver duties, dealing with parents with Alzheimer’s or dementia, and effective communication strategies to address these issues in a valuable and constructive way.
 
Please RSVP by May 25th.
