More About Karen:

Karen pioneered targeted dementia care services and first launched to underserved rural populations in northeast Ohio. Continuing needs assessments and facility development projects in the late 90`s identified need for conflict resolution services. The practice responded by becoming specialized in Family Caregiver Mediation and Adult Guardianship Mediation at the Center for Social Gerontology in Ann Arbor, MI.

Karen has a Master`s Degree in Sociology of Health and Family; a Master`s Certificate in Gerontology and long-term care administration and has completed over 1500 hours mediation and CEU hours.

She was Developer and Chair of the first two national special interest groups on Alzheimer`s Disease Research and Caregiver Stress. Work from these groups moved international at SYSTED`95 in Geneva, Switzerland along with variety of publications.
