Family Counseling: Does it Help?

I'd love to hear from readers who've tried counseling or mediation to deal with family conflicts over caregiving issues. As the discussions here show, family conflicts are common between elderly parents and adult children, but also between siblings and other family members. I'd love to hear from some of you who have tried to resolve issues with the help of a therapist, counselor, and mediator. Has it helped your family? If so, how? Would your recommend this to other families? I'm looking forward to hearing from you, and thanks so much.
