As the population ages, more therapy clients will be older adults—yet depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance use disorders, and cognitive concerns are often missed or dismissed as “normal aging”, which is not only inaccurate; its harmful.
In this engaging workshop, you’ll build five must-have clinical skills for working with older adults. First, you’ll learn how ageism and implicit bias harm mental and physical health and how to combat ageism in your practice. Then, you’ll discover how depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use can present differently later in life as well as how, when left untreated, they increase dementia risk and how treatment for these mental health conditions reduces dementia risk. You’ll gain clear guidance on how to respond when memory concerns arise in therapy, including when and how to refer for cognitive evaluation. You’ll also apply evidence-informed strategies to reduce loneliness, strengthen resilience, and improve outcomes and protect brain health. Walk away with clinical language, case-based strategies, and tools you can use immediately.After attending this beginner-level program in full, participants will be able to:
- • Strengthen clinicians’ confidence and competence in aging-informed assessment and treatment planning for common late-life mental health conditions.
- • Reduce clinical blind spots driven by ageism by improving real-time clinical decision-making and communication with older adult clients.
- • Equip clinicians with practical, immediately usable strategies to address memory concerns and reduce loneliness while supporting resilience and quality of life.
