As our parents age, their care taking needs change. As a result, the adult child may be faced with taking on the medical, financial and day to day living needs of their parent. This can result in a great deal of stress, concern and frustration for the adult child as they struggle to adequately meet the changing needs of their parent. Often, the adult child does not have access to the resources available to support their loved one. This workshop is designed to provide a forum for participants to share the challenges that they encounter as they make every effort to see to their parent’s care. Participants will also learn about valuable resources that are available to support their loved one.
