Lisa Fuller and Jacqui Clark were asked to participate at the Maine Alzheimer's Association's Annual Convention in Augusta on June 16, 2010. Jacqui led two workshops for caregivers on "When Disputes Arise: Tips and techniques for dealing with family conflict over care-giving." Both sessions were packed and Jacqui got rave reviews! They have now asked us to provide an in-service for their call center. Family issues is one of the most common types of calls they receive. This demonstrates just how many families struggle with siblings and others as they deal with the challenges that come from aging relatives. It feels good to know we can help.
