Adult children and their elderly parents often struggle with frank discussion of critical issues. This interactive seminar will cover strategies on guiding the caregiver to sensitively handle taboo topics. The tough subjects will include normal aging, driving, finances, end of life issues, sexuality and mental health. This program will assist professionals in mediating between adult children and seniors, as well as identifying when it is necessary for an adult child to take a more authoritative role while respecting self-determination.
This course is suitable for both beginning and intermediate levels. There is relevance as it provides information as it introduces the concepts of difficult topics to discuss with aging loved ones. It also applies to intermediate levels as it expands upon the introductory level, focusing on the strategies and insights as to effective ways to have meaningful conversations with an older adult on these topics.
