CATCH-ON’s Older Adult Mental Health Basics

December 6 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm CST

Speaker: Erin Emery-Tiburcio, PhD, ABPP

Date and Time: December 6th from 11AM-1PM PT / 12-2PM MT / 1-3PM CT / 2-4PM ET

While older adults have lower rates of mental health and substance use issues than younger adults, these issues can impact functioning and quality of life much more profoundly. Community based organization staff who interact with older adults would benefit from an understanding of the unique ways that these disorders can present in older adults, along with the impact of life events, the environment, and systemic ageism.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this workshop, learners will be able to
• Increase awareness of the impact of attitudes about aging
• Recognize key differences in mental health and substance use issues for older adults
• Identify environmental modifications needed for older adults
