Workshop 4: Ethical Challenges: Older Families, Big Emotions, and Busy Courts
With numbers of older adults in the US and internationally increasing exponentially, it is likely that professionals and courts will have increasing exposure to those “sandwiched” between their children and aging parents, later-in-life parents, gray divorces, blended and stepfamilies, and surge of multi-generations residing in the same household. Who is watching as these exhaustive circumstances push the limits of caregiving both for children in the family and the older adult? This interactive workshop will focus on ethical challenges as attendees untangle strained relationships to reduce family conflict across generations.
