Adult Children of Aging Parents Series: How to Have the Hard Conversations Without Becoming the Bad Guy In-Person
Avoiding difficult conversations often leads to crisis and regret. This cornerstone seminar gives adult children practical tools for discussing sensitive topics such as health changes, safety, finances, and future planning—without damaging relationships. Attendees will learn how to start conversations early, set boundaries with empathy, and communicate in ways
