Services

Mediation:

Elder Decisions mediators are skilled at working with families in conflict. As neutrals we enable all parties to have a voice at the table and to be heard. Working with the family as a whole or with individuals separately, in confidential sessions, mediators facilitate a conversation that can lead to increased understanding, an articulated vision of the future and lasting agreements.

Conflict Coaching:

Sometimes, not all family members want to participate in a mediated discussion. In these situations, we often recommend conflict coaching for those individuals who are looking for suggestions on how to approach and work towards resolution with their siblings and others involved. Conflict coaches help clients identify their interests and develop strategies to speak with other family members to create mutually beneficial solutions.

Life Coaching:

Whether you are stuck in neutral or feel like you’re going in the wrong direction, a life coach can help you get on a better, more satisfying life track.

Life coaching is a confidential process that frees you to explore where you are now and where you might like to go.  It offers you the opportunity to identify what you like to do and what kinds of environments best suit you.  Part of the process involves identifying what barriers are in your way and how to navigate around them.  Unlike a therapeutic approach, life coaching is goal oriented and future focused.  We work to empower you to pick a destination and help you develop the best route to get there.  We act as a private strategist to help you along your way.  There is no judging in this process because ultimately it is your life and there are no wrong answers. 

Training:

Conflict resolution skills training programs are offered by members of the Elder Decisions team and can be customized to meet the needs of specific organizations or groups. These programs teach professionals in the eldercare field to deal with conflict issues that arise in their work. Geriatric care managers, social workers, nurses and elder law attorneys find these skills invaluable. CEUs for social workers and nurses and CCM continuing education credits are available for these programs.  Visit our training page for more information about upcoming public programs.
