How to Work Together as Parents Age

Being a family caregiver is a difficult job. And when it involves an older parent, caregiving often includes the entire family. This webinar covers the basics of conducting a family meeting and how to address the challenges and disputes that can arise during the care of an older family member.

Participants will learn:
  • The questions to ask that are proven to increase understanding
  • To identify barriers to productive conversation and how to overcome them
  • About resources related to informed decision-making
  • How to include an Elder’s voice, if they cannot or do not want to fully participate
