Working with aging populations comes with inherent challenges. This workshop will focus on some of those challenges, as well as ways to recognize needs and risk factors specific to elders such as common health issues, diagnoses, family involvement, and life phase trends. Risk factors such as depression, anxiety, low social supports, and underlying mental health symptoms will be outlined. Further, the workshop will provide an overview of treatment and care options, and connect different levels of treatment to clinical needs faced by the aging. Participants will learn the unique role of clinicians working in elder care, social work skill sets geared towards this population, and best care practices.
