Siblings and Caregiving: Challenges and Opportunities
Caregiver Teleconnection sessions are one hour learning sessions that can be done via Zoom or over the phone for caregivers of older persons. Experts from around the country share information important to caregiving. Caregivers will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as hear from other caregivers.
Our sessions are geared for the family members taking care of a loved one over the age of 60. Professionals are also welcome to participate as well.
In this session, earn about the complex role that siblings can play in family caregiving. How can you identify the needs of the person you are caring for and communicate those to match sibling personalities and abilities? Explore the challenges of long-distance caregiving. What about the role of in-laws? What are tips that will help you diffuse conflicts?
