    Dear Colleagues and Friends,

    I hope this email finds you well.  Below are some updates, events, and resources that may be of interest.

    Interviews about Elder Mediation

    I had the pleasure of talking with Jane Beddall of Dovetail Resolutions about Elder and Adult Family Mediation as a guest on her podcast, Crafting Solutions to Conflict, in an episode that aired recently:

    This brought to mind earlier conversations with Harry Margolis of Margolis Bloom and D'Agostino on his Ask Harry podcast, for additional examples of mediation with adult families:
