TRAINING
We provide training for individuals and organizations working with older adults and their families. We can help you strengthen conflict management skills to communicate effectively with elders, family members, home caregivers and aging services providers, listen with empathy to their feelings, understand their underlying needs, and respond appropriately to strong emotions.
At AGING IN HARMONY, we understand the special needs of those who work with older adults facing family conflict. Our trainings and workshops provide:
- customized content, duration, location, and cost to meet your specific needs
- practical skills that can be used at work or in your personal life or community
- highly inter-active and participatory teaching methods
Conflict Management skills that our trainings can improve:
- sensitivity to inter-generational differences in culture, values, and needs
- empathic listening
- non-verbal communication
- communicating with people facing physical or mental limitations
- stress reduction to improve capacity
- inclusive decision-making tools
“I came to Katharina’s workshop with no prior formal training in conflict resolution. I left with hands-on experience in simulated disputes, inspired and equipped with invaluable tools to guide my intuition on serving an aging population, in cohousing neighborhoods and beyond.”
Raines Cohen, Community Organizer with Cohousing Coaches, Berkeley, CA
