I have done a number of online webinars for CE credit ..I found this presentation to be well organized and helpful, interesting..broadly researched.
Excellent. Thank you. Would also be very useful to caregivers of older adults
I'm So Glad You're Here!
For close to 20 years, I’ve experienced first-hand the difficulty of helping older adults and caregivers find mental health providers trained to help them. In fact, the vast majority of older adults with mental health concerns DO NOT get the mental health care they need, resulting in worse medical problems, higher health care costs, family strain, and needless suffering.
This has inspired my mission of ensuring that you, and all mental health and senior care professionals, have the tools you need to treat the mental health needs of older adults.
I'm Dr. Regina Koepp. I'm a Stanford-trained, board certified clinical psychologist, clinical geropsychologist and founder of the Center for Mental Health & Aging. I’ve worked with older adults and their families in some of the largest healthcare systems in the nation, like Stanford, Emory, the Veterans Health Administration, and currently at the University of Vermont Medical Center.
It's only with your help that we can meet the mental health needs of older adults and caregivers. So, thank you for being here and doing your part!

Course Description
Older adults who have a positive view of aging live 7.5 years longer than those with a negative view of aging (Levy et al, 2002). Ageism will be defined and three types of ageism will be described along with examples of the toll of ageism on physical and mental health, including increased risk for dementia and increased risk for mental health conditions. One common ageist stereotype is that “older adults are alike” when in fact, older adults are incredibly diverse. Intersections between age and other identity variables (e.g., disability, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity) with relation to mental health will be reviewed. Empirically supported strategies to reduce ageism in mental health care will be reviewed and recommendations for promoting access to mental health and health care will be provided.
