A required course in the Professional Program in Aging and Mental Health

This workshop provides an overview of some of the major approaches to working with older persons and their families in medical, long-term care, and mental health settings, as well as in private practice. You cover some of the basic assessment tools and a range of evidence-based treatments for depression and other co-occurring diagnoses. You also learn how to identify some of the conditions commonly associated with aging (e.g., Alzheimer's, dementia, memory loss, etc.) and how to recognize family and generational issues, and elder abuse.
