I’m Not Coming to My Sister’s Wedding: Politics Invading the Sibling Relationship - this week's workshop!

When politics enters the family, it’s rarely just about politics.
In many families, political disagreements mask years of unspoken hurt, rivalry, and resentment — especially between siblings.

Join Karen Gail Lewis, MSW, EdD, for a 3-hour live online workshop exploring how deep-seated sibling dynamics get disguised as political conflict. Learn how to uncover the underlying emotional narratives and guide families back toward understanding and repair.
