Dealing with and resolving family relationships.
Through counselling you will gain the support needed to begin to resolve some of the following issues:
You’re consumed and stressed by the tasks involved in caring for elderly parents
You are married/have a life partner and your relationship is in distress
There is conflict in your family that has not been resolved
You don’t have a life partner, and you seek a support system and community
You feel worried or burdened by grown children who are still dependent on you
In the second half of life, family issues are both multiple and complex.
As aging parents are in their elder years, the burden of care often falls on family members. Grown children are often dependent on their parents for both financial and personal support. Many are moving back home! When parents do become empty-nesters, they can face the challenge of renegotiating their marriage. Adult children and grandchildren may live far away, making regular visits very difficult. Single people enjoy their freedoms but need social connections and support networks. These days, many people live in step- or blended-families and are juggling all the needs of those situations. Most people in the second half of life are coping with some form of family needs or responsibilities and are looking for ways to manage.
