As individuals continue to live longer lives, they many need increased supports from family members and the community. This webinar will describe and discuss the multiple dimensions of family responses to caregiving for an aging relative. This will include an exploration of the challenges of potential sibling conflict, the role of marital partners, grandchildren and others in providing care for an elderly relative. Using case examples, this webinar will teach professionals how to identify family patterns and identify interventions that can help provide strategies for families so they can develop a productive working relationship and a course of action for care of their older adult family member.
