Pastor Fred Crouthers nominated to Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission By Steve Waring Special to the Milwaukee Times Mayor Tom Barrett said the road to an improved relationship between the Milwaukee Police Department and residents in the city’s north side neighborhood begins by supporting his nomination of Pastor Fred Crouther to the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission. State law and the Milwaukee City Charter have empowered the Fire and Police Commission (FPC) to oversee all aspects of Fire Department and Police Department operations, according to information published on the FPC website. “The Commission sets overall policy while the chief

of each department manages daily operations and implements the Commission’s policy direction and goals.” Hiring and disciplinary action of personnel are among the responsibilities granted to the FPC in the Milwaukee City Charter. The FPC is composed of seven part-time civilian commissioners who serve overlapping five-year terms and are appointed by the Mayor. Nominees must be approved by a majority of the city’s Common Council. The next meeting of the full council is March 31, 2015. One of the seven seats is currently vacant. Mayor Barrett spoke in favor of Pastor Crouther for several minutes at a neigh-

borhood forum sponsored by Pastors United on March 3, 2015 at Jerusalem Baptist Church, 2505 W. Cornell St. Noting that confirmation of Pastor Crouther would mean the FPC commissioners would better reflect the overall Milwaukee population, Mayor Barrett also said that Pastor Crouther would be a fair and independent voice on the commission. “The Fire and Police Commission is probably the most important civilian job in the city,” Mayor Barrett said. “This is one of those rare instances when I sought him out. He did not come to me.” In very short remarks Pastor Crouther said he would “respect the dignity of the (Continued on pg. 2)

Sen. Larson and Rep. Barnes introduce the Student Equal Opportunity Act Bill will strengthen rights and accountability standards for students with disabilities in voucher schools

On Tuesday, March 10, 2015, State Senator Chris Larson (D-Milwaukee) and Representative Mandela Barnes (D-Milwaukee) introduced legislation aimed at strengthening rights for students with disabilities in voucher schools, as well as making sure they have teachers licensed and trained to educate children with special needs. The Student Equal Opportunity Act would: • Require voucher schools to employ licensed special education teachers or therapists, if pupils needing such service attend the voucher school • Require voucher schools to comply with Title II of

Crouthers nominated to FPC

said they were grateful for police protection, but tired of all too often automatically being treated like a suspect during an encounter with a member of the Milwaukee Police Dept. “I’m not saying I don’t like the police. They did a great job of getting rid of the dope dealers that were on our block,” said the Rev. Gregory Lewis, president of Pastors United. But Rev. Lewis went on to describe a frightening traffic stop about a year ago in which an officer drew his revolver and aimed it Rev. Lewis’ head. “He waited to hit his lights until we were on a street without any lighting,” Rev. Lewis said. “I wasn’t going to stop there, so I kept right on going another block to my driveway where lights on my house lit up like a Christmas tree. Rev. Lewis said he never followed up and filed a formal complaint. “I could have made a big deal out of that situation, but I think this [gesturing at the forum with his arms] is a better way.”

"Others and myself have tried to work to ease tensions,” Prophet Hunt said. “When I talk to people at crime scenes almost the only thing I hear is that they were watched over by white police. People don’t feel safe and they don’t trust the police.” Members of the audience

Mose Fuller, pastor of St. Timothy Community Baptist Church, 3701 N. Teutonia Ave., said: “The city was under a dark cloud due to the actions of some who have taken an oath.” Pastor Fuller called on God to “help us carry out what it is this city needs to [become better].” Pastor Crouther had a very pithy response when asked if he was satisfied with the current relationship between the public and the Milwaukee Police Dept. “No sir,” he replied without elaborating further.

Toward the end of the forum a man named Charles Folz said he had lived in Milwaukee for decades and watched as the racial composition of the population changed, but the police force did not reflect changes in the population of the city. “It never seems to trickle down to the police dept.,” he said. Katrina R. Warren, community relations manager for the FPC said that Milwaukee is eager to hire more women and persons of color, but said that the city has had difficulty recruiting.

He also sought to downplay expectations that he would be like “John Wayne or the Lone Ranger” and immediately right every wrong. The remainder of the program was spent fielding questions from those in attendance. Pastors United “is an organization committed to negotiating diplomatic solutions to the problem facing our community,” according to a statement on its official website. The organization has hosted a number of similar forums in the past. Given the recent, deeply divisive nationwide shootings of unarmed African American men and the recent deaths of several African American men while in the custody of the Milwaukee Police Dept., organizers were surprised by the attendance of about three dozen, many of whom were members of the clergy. Although perhaps few in number, the questions attendees asked addressed

change America. “President and Mrs. Bush, Governor Bentley, Mayor Evans, Sewell, Reverend Strong, members of Congress, elected officials, foot soldiers, friends, fellow Americans: “As John noted, there are places and moments in America where this nation’s destiny has been decided. Many are sites of war -- Concord and Lexington, Appomattox, Gettysburg. Others are sites that symbolize the daring of America’s character -- Independence Hall and Seneca Falls, Kitty Hawk and Cape Canaveral. “Selma is such a place. In one afternoon 50 years ago, so much of our turbulent history -- the stain of slavery and anguish of civil war; the yoke of segregation and tyranny of Jim Crow; the death of four little girls in Birmingham; and the dream of a Baptist preacher -- all that history met on this bridge. “It was not a clash of armies, but a clash of wills; a contest to determine the true meaning of America. And because of men and women like John Lewis, Joseph Lowery, Hosea Williams, Amelia Boynton, Diane Nash, Ralph Abernathy, C.T. Vivian, Andrew Young, Fred Shuttlesworth, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,

“It is a rare honor in this life to follow one of your heroes. And John Lewis is one of my heroes. “Now, I have to imagine that when a younger John Lewis woke up that morning 50 years ago and made his way to Brown Chapel, heroics were not on his mind. A day like this was not on his mind. Young folks with bedrolls and backpacks were milling about. Veterans of the movement trained newcomers in the tactics of non-violence; the right way to protect yourself when attacked. A doctor described what tear gas does to the body, while marchers scribbled down instructions for contacting their loved ones. The air was thick with doubt, anticipation and fear. And they comforted themselves with the final verse of the final hymn they sung: “No matter what may be the test, God will take care of you; lean, weary one, upon His breast, God will take care of you. “And then, his knapsack stocked with an apple, a toothbrush, and a book on government -- all you need for a night behind bars -John Lewis led them out of the church on a mission to

umphed. “As is true across the landscape of American history, we cannot examine this moment in isolation. The march on Selma was part of a broader campaign that spanned generations; the leaders that day part of a long line of heroes. “We gather here to celebrate them. We gather here to honor the courage of ordinary Americans willing to endure billy clubs and the chastening rod; tear gas and the trampling hoof; men and women who despite the gush of blood and splintered bone would stay true to their North Star and keep marching towards justice. “They did as Scripture instructed: “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.” And in the days to come, they went back again and again. When the trumpet call sounded for more to join, the people came –- black and white, young and old, Christian and Jew, waving the American flag and singing the same anthems full of faith and hope. A white newsman, Bill Plante, who covered the marches then and who is with us here

today, quipped that the growing number of white people lowered the quality of the singing. (Laughter.) To those who marched, though, those old gospel songs must have never sounded so sweet. “In time, their chorus would well up and reach President Johnson. And he would send them protection, and speak to the nation, echoing their call for America and the world to hear: “We shall overcome.” (Applause.) What enormous faith these men and women had. Faith in God, but also faith in America. “The Americans who crossed this bridge, they were not physically imposing. But they gave courage to millions. They held no elected office. But they led a nation. They marched as Americans who had endured hundreds of years of brutal violence, countless daily indignities –- but they didn’t seek special treatment, just the equal treatment promised to them almost a century before. (Applause.) “What they did here will reverberate through the ages. Not because the change they won was preordained; not because their victory was complete; but because they proved that nonviolent change is possible, that love and hope can conquer hate. “As we commemorate their achievement, we are wellserved to remember that at the time of the marches, many in power condemned rather than praised them. Back then, they were called Communists, or half-breeds, or outside agitators, sexual and moral degenerates, and worse –- they were called everything but the name their parents gave them. Their faith was questioned. Their lives were threatened. Their patriotism challenged. “And yet, what could be more American than what happened in this place? (Applause.) What could more profoundly vindicate the idea of America than plain and humble people –- unsung, the downtrodden, the dreamers not of high station, not born to wealth or privilege, not of one religious tradition but many, coming together to shape their country’s course?

Rebuilding Our Community

By Dr. Andrew Calhoun, Ed.D. Special for the Milwaukee Times

The struggle is real A day never goes by in which most of us come face to face with unique experiences that require us to take a stand, make a call or lift our voices for what we believe are the right things to do. There are a number of things in our great nation that are just so wrong; laws that need amending, support systems that need redesigning and worthwhile programs that need adquate funding. As we have seen in this 21st century and especailly over the past few years, much has changed. Today, as a nation we are locked into a cycle of ongoing world wide wars, increasing community violence on all levels, more familes living in poverty, the militarization of local law enforcement, growing disparties in

health care, affordable housing, lack of mental health coverage and better schools. Let's not forget about civil rights, equal rights, women rights, wealth gap and the fact that there are more black men in prison today than were in slavery during the 1850’s. Well, there is a lot of work that still needs to be done. It seems that sometimes those in charge, who’s job or responsibility is to help make things better are not clearly focused on what is most important in the lives of residents or have just allowed things to get way out of hand. And to make matters worse, instead of admitting a mistake, they either cover things up, blame it on someone else or just ignore the

situation all together. Seeing to the needs of a growing community that is becoming more diverse each day is a situation many refuse to acknowledge or accept. We have to come to terms with what is occuring, that things are changing and nothing can stop the momentum, progress always detates change. Even as a our diverse com-

munity continues to grow, we have to grow with it, meet the upcoming needs of those cultures, bring more people to the table, think outside the box and be willing to make adjustments. Let's be real about it, everyday countless individuals and families are lock in a struggle to survive, to gain their financial independence, to overcome an addition, to find peace and the courage to move forward. Today, many people and families are broken by their situation in life, shattered, enduring setbacks, illinesses, and ongoing trama. Suffering, drug addition, poverty, homelessness, prejudice, crime, discrimnation, unemployment, divorce and oppression are all real. There is never a good way to say

or feel it, but if you want to make a change, you will have to fight to get it or else things will always remain the same. What do you think?

By: Marian Wright Edelman President of the Children's Defense Fund

Who are we? What do we Americans truly value? Too much and for too long, we seem to have surrendered personal excellence and community values in the mere accumulation of material things. Our Gross National Product, now is over $800 billion dollars a year... if we judge the United States of America by that... Gross National Product counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage. It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for the people who break them. It counts the destruction of the redwood and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl. It counts napalm and counts nuclear warheads and armored cars for the police to fight the riots in our cities. It counts Whitman’s rifle and Speck’s knife, and the television programs which glorify violence in order to sell toys to our children. Yet the Gross National Product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country, it measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile. And it can tell

us everything about America except why we are proud that we are Americans. – Senator Robert F. Kennedy What do we stand for as a nation and who do we wish to be? In a 1968 speech at the University of Kansas, Senator Robert Kennedy correctly worried too many used our nation’s wealth as the standard of greatness rather than the human values that should matter most. Our Gross Domestic Product — now $17.7 trillion — includes many things for us not to be proud of. So we should ask ourselves how well America is doing on the things that should matter most—the well-being of our children and families and the quality of justice and life in our communities and nation? Among high-income countries the United States ranks first in Gross Domestic Product and first in the number of billionaires, and second worst in child poverty rates – ahead only of Romania whose economy is 99 percent smaller than ours. It is a national disgrace that children are the poorest group of Americans with 14.7 million living in poverty. We are first in military spending — $11.1 billion a week — and first in military weapons exports. We are first in the number of people incarcerated and worst in protecting our chil-

dren against gun violence. A Black boy born in 2001 has a one in three chance of going to prison in his lifetime and a Latino boy a one in six chance of the same fate. Children and teens in America were 17 times more likely to be killed by gun violence than those in 25 other highincome countries combined. We are 30th in preschool enrollment rates and 17th in reading, 23rd in science, and 31st in math scores for our 15-year-olds. Nearly 60 percent of all fourth and eighth grade public school students in the U.S. and more than 80 percent of Black and almost 75 percent of Latino children in those same grades could not read or compute at grade level in 2013. We rank first in health expenditures but 25th in low birth weight rates, 26th in child immunization rates, 31st in infant mortality rates, and second worst in teenage births – just ahead of Bulgaria. If we compare Black child well-being in America to child well-being in other

nations, the U.S. Black infant mortality rate exceeds that in 65 nations including Cuba, Malaysia, and Ukraine. Our incidence of low-birth weight Black infants is higher than in 127 other nations including Cambodia, the Congo, and Guatemala. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child spells out the basic rights children should have everywhere and is the most widely and rapidly ratified international human rights treaty in history. For years the United States and Somalia, which had no recognized government, were the only United Nations members that had failed to ratify the convention. In January 2015 Somalia became the 195th nation to do so. The United States now stands only with new U.N. member state South Sudan as the two countries that have not ratified it — and South Sudan has started working towards ratification. The United States stands alone, despite recent progress, in still permitting lifewithout-parole sentences for juvenile offenders who were under 18 at the time of the offense. The U.S. Supreme Court has banned capital punishment for crimes committed by juveniles but America remains one of 58 nations that continues to use capital punishment for adults. In 2013 the U.S. had the sixth highest number of

executions — after China, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and North Korea. If America wants to be a truly great nation on the world stage, it’s time to redefine the measures of our success. The litmus test I propose is that of the great German Protestant theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, executed for opposing Hitler’s holocaust, who said “the test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.” The great South African president Nelson Mandela agreed with him and believed “there can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.” On the Bonhoeffer-Mandela measure of success, we must do much, much better. Marian Wright Edelman is President of the Children's Defense Fund whose Leave No Child Behind® mission is to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.

The Counseling Corner

By Rev. Judith T. Lester, B.Min. M.Th

Bible engagement: An essential discipline for spiritual growth (Week 2) “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” - 2 Timothy 2:15, KJV The Bible is God’s Word. It is the account of God’s action in the world and the Bible reveals God’s purpose and God’s message to His creation. Because God loves us, it is through His Word that God provides for us a purpose and destiny. Therefore, Bible engagement is an essential component in every believer’s life because it connects them with Jesus. If you want a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ then you must be committed to reading and studying the Scriptures. This week this writer will take a look at a young adult’s view of the Bible. Young Adults and the Bible According to a Barna Research (Millennials and the Bible, October 2014),

Christian Millennials (those young adults with birth years ranging from the early 1980s to the early 2000s) have a high view of the Scriptures. The research indicated that practicing Christian Millennials (self-identified Christians who attend church at least once a month and who describe their religious faith as very important to their life) are quite orthodox and continue to hold the Bible in very high regard. In fact, nearly all of them believe the Bible contains everything a person needs to know to live a meaningful life (96 percent). The same proportion claim the Bible is the actual or inspired word of God (96 percent). Among these young adults, a plurality say, "The Bible is the actual word of God and should be taken literally, word for word." Additionally, practicing Christian Millennials cite the Bible as their greatest source for moral truth. Of

the practicing Christian Millennials who believe in absolute moral truth (71 percent), 4 in 10 point to the Bible as the main source from which they have learned or discovered absolute moral truths and standards (39 percent). This far outpaces any other source, with church coming in second at only 16 percent, followed by parents at 14 percent. The survey also sought to discover how Millennials prioritize Bible reading among their faith practices. Respondents were asked whether Bible reading is more important, less important or of equal importance to a variety of other spiritual disciplines. While Millennials as a whole say reading the

Bible is of equal importance to the other spiritual disciplines assessed by the survey, practicing Christian Millennials consistently rank Bible reading as more important than other disciplines. For example, practicing Christian Millennials rank Bible reading as more important than church attendance (55 pecent say Bible reading is more important), silence/solitude (50 percent), prayer (49 percent), worship (51 percent), acts of service (48 percent), communion (44 percent) and evangelism (42 percent). Beloved, among practicing Christian Millennials, the Bible still holds a high—if not the highest—priority in their faith life. This is good news especially as Bible scepticism continues to increase for this young adult generation as they question not only the Bible’s relevance to their life but also whether the Bible contains everything they need to live a meaningful life.

Use the young adult’s scepticism, though, as a gateway to teach and explore the content of the Bible. When teaching young adults, Bible teachers should engage young adults in interactive learning. This writer has found by allowing young adults to ask open and honest questions during small group Bible study and utilizing creative or technologically stimulating ways to teach them the Bible; this technique has been by far more effective and engaging than the traditional lecturing format.

Education

MPS: Op Ed.

Michael Bonds, PH.D. President Milwaukee Public School Board of Governance

National experts on school reform to visit Milwaukee and review proposed education reform bill Experts will hold workshops and panel discussions on new legislation that will directly affect Milwaukee schools With a new legislative session underway, lawmakers have proposed bringing education reform ideas to Milwaukee. Many of the proposed ideas strongly resemble reform efforts that have deeply impacted public schools in New Orleans over the course of the past decade. Specifically, the concept of a recovery or turnaround district within the city of Milwaukee brings to mind Louisiana’s Recovery School District (RSD) and its wide-reaching implications on the public school district in New Orleans. The Milwaukee Board of School Directors has invited three experts who have lived through and researched the reforms in New Orleans to visit Milwaukee. They will present free workshops and participate in a panel discussion to share with the Milwaukee community their experiences and how similar proposed legislation in Wisconsin could impact our

Dr. Kristen Buras classrooms and neighborhoods. Among the experiences and research they will share are ideas around parent advocacy, access to education, and urban space economy as they relate to recovery district models. The three featured experts are: • Dr. Kristen Buras, who is an Associate Professor in the Department of Educational Policy Studies at Georgia

Karran Harper-Royal State University in Atlanta. She is considered a leading expert on urban charter schools, has studied education reform in New Orleans for the past decade, and has been active around issues of racial and economic inequity in the city’s public education system for more than two decades; • Mrs. Karran HarperRoyal, who works as an education advocate in New Orleans. She is a member of

Dr. Raynard Sanders the New Orleans Education Equity Roundtable and the Coalition for Community Schools, which is a member of the national Journey for Justice Alliance; and • Dr. Raynard Sanders, who has over thirty-five years of experience in teaching, educational administration, and economic and community development. Most recently, his work has been around educational equity, providing consulting services to numerous school districts and

community groups across the country. I invite you to hear from the New Orleans experts firsthand. Workshops on The Power of Parent Advocacy, Equity and Access, and Race and Urban Space are set for Thursday, March 26, at 4:30 p.m. at MPS’s Milwaukee High School of the Arts, 2300 W. Highland Avenue, Milwaukee 53233. The experts will also participate in a community-wide panel discussion on Friday, March 27, at 6 p.m. at Parklawn Assembly of God, 3725 N. Sherman Boulevard, Milwaukee 53216. Both events are free and open to the public. For more information, contact (414) 475-8284 or visit mpsmke. com/supportmps. I encourage you to join us in this important discussion regarding the future of public education in Milwaukee.

Intervention: Help a loved one overcome addiction An intervention can motivate someone to seek help for alcohol or drug abuse, compulsive eating, or other addictive behaviors. Discover when to hold one and how to make it successful. It’s challenging to help a loved one struggling with any type of addiction. Sometimes a direct, heart-to-heart conversation can start the road to recovery. But when it comes to addiction, the person with the problem often struggles to see it and acknowledge it. A more focused approach is often needed. You may need to join forces with others and take action through a formal intervention. Examples of addictions that may warrant an intervention include: • Alcoholism • Prescription drug abuse • Street drug abuse • Compulsive eating • Compulsive gambling People who struggle with addiction are often in denial about their situation and unwilling to seek treatment. They may not recognize the negative effects their behavior has on themselves and others. An intervention presents your loved one with a structured opportunity to make changes before things get even worse and can motivate someone to seek or accept help. What is an intervention? An intervention is a carefully planned process that may be done by family and friends, in consultation with a doctor or professional such as a licensed alcohol and drug counselor, or directed by an intervention professional (interventionist). It sometimes involves co-workers, clergy members or others who care about the person struggling with addiction. During the intervention, these people gather together

to confront the person about the consequences of addiction and ask him or her to accept treatment. The intervention: Provides specific examples of destructive behaviors and their impact on the addicted person and loved ones Offers a prearranged treatment plan with clear steps, goals and guidelines Spells out what each person will do if a loved one refuses to accept treatment How does a typical intervention work? An intervention usually includes the following steps: 1. Make a plan. A family member or friend proposes an intervention and forms a planning group. It’s best if you consult with a qualified professional counselor, addiction specialist, psychologist, mental health counselor, social worker or an interventionist to help you organize an effective intervention. An intervention is a highly charged situation with the potential to cause anger, resentment or a sense of betrayal. 2. Gather information. The group members find out about the extent of the loved one’s problem and research the condition and treatment programs. The group may initiate arrangements to enroll the loved one in a specific treatment program. 3. Form the intervention team. The planning group forms a team that will personally participate in the intervention. Team members set a date and location and work together to present a consistent, rehearsed message and a structured plan. Often, non-family members of the team help keep the discussion focused on the facts of the problem and shared solutions rather than strong emotional responses. Do not let your loved one

of treatment and follow-up plan is likely to work best. Often interventions are conducted without an intervention specialist, but having expert help may be preferable. Sometimes the intervention occurs at the professional’s office. It may be especially important to have the professional attend the actual intervention to help you stay on track if your loved one: • Has a history of serious mental illness • Has a history of violence know what you are doing make if the addicted person • Has shown suicidal beuntil the day of the interven- doesn’t accept the plan.

Personal Finance & Business

By Jason Alderman Director of Visa’s financial education programs

Making sure loved ones are prepared for their retirement years What if a sudden, debilitating illness, fraud or economic downturn affected your senior family member's retirement, estate or long-term care issues? Would you be prepared to take over? If the answer is no, you're not alone. According to 2013 research (http:// www.pewresearch.org/facttank/2013/07/18/as-population-ages-more-americansbecoming-caregivers/) from the Pew Research Center, four in 10 U.S. adults are caring for a loved one with significant health issues. Don't wait for a crisis to initiate this conversation. Starting early can help you plan and even safeguard your own career and retirement planning. Here are some suggestions for starting the conversation: • Identify the missing links. Find information gaps you need to fill to help your senior relative plan for retirement. If key financial information – investment and banking accounts, legal documents or doctors' contact information – is missing, list any and all unknowns to be researched and compiled. • Schedule a family financial meeting. Schedule a specific day and time and create an agenda that meets the needs of your senior relative. It is not always necessary to involve all direct family members in a preliminary discussion, but make sure that relevant individuals are aware of the meeting. After helping your senior relative assess his or her financial situation, make sure to identify next steps and responsibilities. • Locate important financial documents. Ask your senior relative to show you where his or her key documents and accounts are, such as retirement and pension

"A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money." - John Ruskin

information, checkbooks, investment statements, insurance policies and legal and estate data. Find out where incoming bills are kept in case you have to step in and help manage monthly bills. • Consider seeking financial counseling. Any number of reasons, from illness to fraud, may explain losing control of personal finances. If your relative has been working with a qualified financial or tax advisor, the family team should consider meeting with him or her if a need arises. If outside tax, financial or legal help is needed, the team and your senior relative should discuss who

those professionals should be, what their fees are and what you expect them to do. • Make and agree on a plan. After all the informa-

tion gathering and discussion is complete, make a plan – in writing, if possible – to review the senior's wishes, set an action plan and assign re-

sponsibilities as necessary. As mentioned above, you should review this plan every year. And if problems emerge in any topic area from retirement to health issues, you'll find guidance throughout the Practical Money Skills for Life website. (http://www. practicalmoneyskills.com/ personalfinance/) Bottom line: Asking older relatives about retirement, estate and long-term care preparations can be an uncomfortable conversation. Making a plan and initiating early conversations to involve the right people can ease the financial strain and stress on everyone involved.
