Join us for a two-part series on aging in the new millennium. We will explore the tough topic of how to start the conversation on aging with your parents as well as with your children and then the follow-up question of how to support each other through the process. Whether you are a child, parent, or both, don’t miss this compelling conversation on coping with the next stage of life.
On August 4th, Becky Peters presents Tried and True Ways to Support Aging Parents. Her one hour presentation is aimed first at giving families tools and strategies to help aging parents remain independent and second, to reduce the stress of family caregivers.

She is past president of the Alzheimer's Association Board of Directors. In addition to her community volunteerism, Peters has authored several articles and a chapter in the book, managing Home Care for the Elderly - Lessons from Community-based Agencies. Peters is a frequent speaker and lecturer on topics related to eldercare management, aging and Alzheimer's disease. Ms. Peters received her B.S. in nursing from the Medical University of South Carolina.
