Caregiving is hard work, no matter how much we love those we are caring for every day. In many cases parents are finding themselves part of a sandwich generation where they are parenting their children, or even grandchildren, while providing daily caregiving to their own parents or grandparents. If you find yourself in this situation and could use a little support, checkout the Office for Aging's Caregiver Support Group on the 4th Thursday of every month. Click HERE to learn more.

Every family develops patterns — familiar relationship “dances” that emerge when stress runs high. In families touched by ADHD, these roles and relationship patterns tend to surface more quickly and with greater intensity. Emotions escalate rapidly. The same arguments happen repeatedly. One person steps in to handle everything while another pulls away. And everyone is left wondering, Why do we keep ending up here?

Tamara Rosier, Ph.D., will provide a clear and compassionate approach to help parents, partners, adult children, and caregivers understand the roles they play and the patterns that repeat — to break free from negative cycles and improve relationships through this free webinar.

Not available February 17 at 1:00pm? Don’t worry. Register now and you'll receive the replay link to watch at your convenience.
