Helping families make confident, compassionate decisions with and about ageing parents
ELDER MEDIATION AND FACILITATION Drag widget here
As your parents grow older, it's natural to feel uncertain about how to support them
Whether it’s deciding on care arrangements, managing financial matters, or navigating difficult family dynamics, the emotional and practical challenges can feel overwhelming – especially when there’s no clear plan in place.
At the heart of these challenges is one simple truth: families need to talk. But more often than not, they don’t know how to start – or what to do when tensions rise.
This is where Brian Herd can help your family
With over 40 years of experience in elder law and family conflict resolution, Brian offers two key services to help families prepare, connect, and move forward with confidence:
Elder Facilitation
Plan ahead, together, before a crisis forces your hand – a form of family planning.
Elder Facilitation is a structured, proactive process that brings families together to explore the decisions that come with ageing, while there’s still time to plan thoughtfully.
These conversations ensure that everyone, especially your parent, is heard, understood, and supported. The result? A clear plan that gives peace of mind to all involved.
Through Elder Facilitation, Brian helps families discuss topics such as:
- Living arrangements and care preferences
- Roles and responsibilities within the family
- Financial planning
- Health support
Elder Mediation
When families can’t agree, mediation helps you move forward.
When conflict arises or decisions are delayed for too long, families can find themselves stuck, or even fractured. Elder Mediation is a calm, neutral process that helps families work through disagreements and refocus on what truly matters: the wellbeing of their ageing parent.
Mediation helps restore understanding, rebuild trust, and create practical solutions that everyone can agree on.
Through Elder Mediation, Brian supports families in resolving disputes around:
- Care and accommodation decisions
- Financial concerns and legal responsibilities
- Breakdown in communication between siblings or relatives
- Unclear or conflicting expectations
