The Wood County Committee on Aging, in partnership with Bowling Green State University, is offering a workshop on difficult conversations for older adults.
The workshop is scheduled for Dec. 12, from 2:30 to 4 p.m., in the Wood County Senior Center, 140 S. Grove St., Bowling Green.
The workshop is intended for those in a close relationship, in which they want to discuss a difficult topic but are unsure how to approach it. In this workshop, designed by graduate students in Relational Communication at BGSU, participants will make a plan for discussing a difficult topic in a close relationship.
Participants will discuss important close relationships, such as friendships, sibling relationships, parent-child relationships, and romantic relationships and approaches to talking about difficult topics such as finances, end of life planning, and health. Participants will identify a difficult topic and close relationship, consider their goals in the relationship, and select an approach that will work for them and their relationship.
