Adult Children and Aging Parents: Conversations Between Generations
The University of Wisconsin-Extension has adapted the Iowa State University curriculum "Adult Children and Aging Parents: Conversations Between Generations", for Wisconsin. Karen Goebel (Professor Emerita School of Human Ecology), Chris Kniep, Judy Knudsen, and Mary Brintnall-Peterson (Professor Emerita University of Wisconsin Extension) adapted it for use in Wisconsin. This curriculum focuses on the needs of whole families, and seeks to help families talk about and plan for changing needs in later life, increase family problem-solving skills and strengthen family relationships between generations. Adapted to reflect Wisconsin laws, "Adult Children and Aging Parents" helps participants explore questions about later-life legal, financial and housing needs and about understanding their family relationships. This curriculum can be taught in single-topic workshops or as an education series. The Class Leader and Master Trainer links are password protected because of UW-Extension's license agreement with Iowa State University.
