How can we best identify and assess our clients and patients to ensure their mental health needs are being identified effectively? How can we effectively approach providing interventions and support? This interactive program will focus on the most common mental health issues facing older adults in the long-term care setting and how to best address them. Topics covered will include diagnoses, treatment options, and impact on families.
