Sarah Rudgers-Tysz and Rosanna Lindquist led a workshop on “How to have a Family Meeting” which focused on pre-planning, questions to ask, and mediation skills that caregivers could use to facilitate conversation in the meeting.
Special thanks to the Saratoga County Office for the Aging for inviting us to participate in this event.
