SUMMARY:Managing Family Conflict About End-of-Life Decisions
DESCRIPTION:Only one-third of Americans have filled out an advance directive to let family members know what care they do or don’t want in the event they are unable to speak for themselves. That leaves many adult children to guess about what an aging parent with severe dementia would want–opening the door for intense debate and even fighting among those siblings. In this highly interactive workshop with psychologist Barry J. Jacobs\, Psy.D.\, co-author of The AARP Caregiver Answer Book\, we will talk about the importance of advance directives but also how adult children can draw upon their parent’s beliefs and values to make the right decision for them. Case illustrations will be used throughout. \n
