Texas Conflict Coach Audio Blog by Pattie Porter
Families today are assuming responsibility for the informal care of over 75 percent of elderly family members and are often faced with difficult decisions from a bewildering array of choices: e.g. estate planning, financial issues, and guardianship. In the best of circumstances, this can be a stressful process and sometimes leads to disagreements, confusion, and conflict at a time when the best intentions of the family are to work together for the needs of a loved and respected aging family member. With the help of a trained professional mediator, family members share information and perspectives, explore and evaluate options, and develop workable solutions through a process that promotes open and positive communication. The mediator is a neutral, who does not offer advice and believes that each family is unique and knows best what solutions will work for their family as a whole. For families in conflict or simply wanting help through a transition elder care mediation offers a process which can reduce stress and prevent a crisis.
