Description

Nursing personnel, psychologists, counselors, social workers, OTs, PTs, SLPs, home health aides, adult day center employees, and first responders contact with older persons with dementia and other mental health concerns. Nonetheless, many have not received comprehensive training on the issues that make working with this demographic so difficult.

Without proper training, safety hazards increase, and chances to improve care and quality of life are lost.

This two-day thorough recording is essential for anybody dealing with older adult patients who have Alzheimer’s disease, other dementias, or mental health difficulties such as anxiety and depression. You’ll learn how to screen for and distinguish between different forms of dementia, maximize daily functioning, cope with severe mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, and drug use in older patients, and act safely and effectively when problematic behaviors occur.

You can’t afford to miss out on this opportunity to get the skills, methods, and information you need to offer the finest care possible, regardless of your career!
