Age Well: Navigating Family Dynamics in Aging and Caregiving

As individuals age, family relationships often shift — sometimes creating stress, misunderstandings or conflict around care decisions. Aging adults may find themselves at the center of complex family dynamics, especially when health or independence becomes a concern. This webinar explores how aging adults and their families can work together to maintain respect, communication and mutual support through these transitions. As part of our Age Well series, join gerontologist and caregiver advocate Lakelyn Hogan Eichenberger, Ph.D., to gain insights into the emotional and practical challenges that arise in later-life family caregiving. Whether you are an aging adult, a family member or a professional supporting aging clients, you'll learn tools to help manage expectations, facilitate healthier conversations and support aging adults in retaining agency while promoting family unity.

This lecture is part of our new Age Well series, designed to provide valuable insights, expert guidance, and practical tools for navigating the aging journey with confidence. These programs explore key topics related to aging, from health and wellness to planning for the future, offering meaningful perspectives and resources for older adults and caregivers alike. Your online lecture will take place live over the course of 1-2 hours. All times are listed in the EASTERN time zone. If you live in a different time zone, please adjust your schedule accordingly. This live online experience uses Zoom Webinar, an easy-to-use web video service that includes closed captioning. All you need is an Internet connection and your computer. You will receive a confirmation email when you enroll, and a reminder email one week and one day before, as well as the morning of the event with a link and instructions on how to tune in.
