‘TALKING ALTERNATIVES’ MEDIATORS CAN WALK YOU THROUGH DIFFICULT FAMILY CONFLICTS (SPONSORED)

Helping families find common ground.

Susan used to love the holidays. She took over holiday dinners after her Mom decided it was just too much work.

Unfortunately her mother’s health has been declining. Now, in addition to her job and looking after her own home and family, Susan has taken on the responsibility for many of her mother’s household chores and healthcare. The stress is too much. It is time to consider other living arrangements for Mom. But two of her siblings insist that Mom seems okay to them. Holidays have become a nightmare. For the last two years, she and her siblings have argued about how to plan for their mother’s care and the issues never get resolved, things just always seem to get worse.

Maybe you know families, or are a family, experiencing a similar situation?

For some families, it’s the tension between the adult children and Mom, who is caring for Dad.

Or the brothers and sisters who question the decisions made by a primary caregiver.

In recent years, elder and adult family mediation has been recognized as a successful means of dealing with family conflict. It is a voluntary, confidential process. It’s a chance for family members to discuss the issues in a non-confrontational conversation.

Families get together with a neutral third party who facilitates a conversation resulting in a plan of action created by the parties: what needs to be done, who needs to do it and when it needs to be done.

Mediation is cost-effective, expedient and it works. Mediation preserves family relationships.
