Bridging Gaps Across Generations
In Dubai’s multicultural and fast-changing society, families often span three or more generations under one roof or in close connection. While this creates rich traditions and strong family ties, it can also lead to tension when values, expectations, and communication styles clash. At the American Wellness Center in Dubai Healthcare City, our Intergenerational Family Counseling helps families build understanding, reduce conflict, and foster respect across all age groups.
Who This Service Is For
This service is especially valuable for families in Dubai who are:
- Adult children and parents struggling with cultural or lifestyle differences.
- Grandparents feeling disconnected or unacknowledged in family decision-making.
- Parents navigating disagreements with adult children about marriage, career, or parenting styles.
- Multigenerational households where roles, responsibilities, or traditions cause friction.
- Families adjusting to expat life, relocation, or changing family structures.
If your family feels caught between tradition and modernity, this counseling provides tools to restore harmony.
