“The Health and Well-Being Domain is fortunate to collaborate with a diverse team of multi-disciplinary professionals who specialize in psychiatric, medical, developmental and wellness issues. We often include members from other domains in our events because health-related topics impact legal and financial planning and family dynamics. We hope to see you at our event focused on dementia and capacity on May 18!”

In this Institute Spotlight, Arden describes how the Health & Well-Being Domain touches upon all health aspects within ultra-high-net-worth families, such as longer-term planning for those with special needs, family dynamics following a diagnosis and how differing opinions for healthcare within a family system should be addressed.
