Helping a Family Member Who Doesn’t Want Your Help
October 25, 2017 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Is your relative reluctant to receive help or discuss changes in their mood, memory, abilities, or habits?
In this workshop, you will learn why older family members may resist our efforts to help them. This session will provide strategies for staying effective and involved as a caregiver without burning out.
