SUMMARY:Interprofessional Ethics in Older Adult Mental and Behavioral Health: Psychology\, Psychiatry\, Social Work and Counseling Perspectives (Session 1)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Interprofessional Ethics in Older Adult Mental and Behavioral Health: Psychology\, Psychiatry\, Social Work and Counseling Perspectives (Session 1) \nDate: Friday\, July 24th \nTime: 10-11:30AM PT / 11AM-12:30PM MT / 12-1:30PM CT /1-2:30PM ET \nSpeakers: Rebecca Allen\, PhD\, ABPP; Matthew Fullen\, PhD; Dawn Hobdy\, MSW; Peter Rabins\, MD\, MPH \nLocation: Virtual (Zoom) \nSummary: \nMental health providers who work with older adults must navigate a complex landscape of ethical principles\, clinical judgment\, and interdisciplinary collaboration. As older adults often present with multifaceted medical\, cognitive\, and psychosocial needs\, clinicians must be equipped to recognize how ethical expectations manifest across diverse settings. Working with this population also requires an understanding of situations that are uniquely prevalent in later life. This dynamic and interactive panel brings together leading ethics experts from psychology\, psychiatry\, social work\, and counseling to discuss case-based examples illustrating how each discipline interprets and applies ethical standards. Over two sessions\, the panel will explore how differing professional perspectives can complement one another\, illuminate potential areas of conflict\, and ultimately strengthen ethical decision-making in the provision of mental health care for older adults.  \n Learning Objectives: \n\nIdentify ethical principles in older adult mental health service provision \n\n\nDescribe common ethical dilemmas that arise uniquely in the care of older adults  \n\n\nRecognize unique perspectives of each profession on applying ethical principles \n\n  \nREGISTER HERE \nPlease share with colleagues who would like to join! \nCE PENDING: Rush University anticipates offering 1.5 Continuing Education credits for this activity \nFor updates on all events\, please subscribe to the E4Center Newsletter and check back often! \n
