More older adults are entering therapy than ever before. And if you're like most therapists, you haven't received training to support their unique mental health needs.
This gap leaves older adults underserved—and can leave you feeling stuck, second-guessing your clinical approach, and wondering:
>> “Am I doing this right?”
>> Is this depression or just part of aging?
>> How do I handle possible dementia symptoms?
>> How do I address ageism and stigma in the therapy room?
That’s why we created this 90min CE Course just for you...
