In this webinar, we introduce the 50-50 Rule,SM a new program designed to help adult siblings improve communication skills, develop teamwork, make decisions together and divide the workload in caring for aging parents. Sibling relationships and the quality of an older adult’s care can be at risk due to unresolved conflicts, but with the new approaches outlined in this webinar, caregiving can make families stronger than ever.

Participants in this web seminar will:

• Find out about the 50-50 Rule
• Learn about hot button topics that often cause highly emotional discussions
• Get tips and checklists to help siblings cope with the demands of family caregiving, and discover resources that can help avoid or overcome sibling conflicts
