SUMMARY:Interpersonal Psychotherapy Training Series
DESCRIPTION:Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is a time-limited and effective treatment for depression. Its four problem areas encompass many of the issues seen in clinical practice with depressed older adults: Life Transitions\, Grief\, Disputes\, and Social Isolation/Loneliness (also known as Interpersonal Deficits). This three session\, six hour workshop will review foundational issues related to depression in older adults and how IPT can be implemented with older people. Following each of the sessions\, participants will have the opportunity to have a brief case consultation with the presenter on how IPT might be implemented with existing or future older clients. \nWorkshop participants will be provided a previously published overview of IPT with older adults by the presenter. \nIn advance of the workshop\, participants might consider reading either of these two books\, both of which are available on Amazon or other book outlets: \nHinrichsen\, G. A. and Clougherty\, K. F. (2006). Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Depressed Older Adults. Washington\, DC: American Psychological Association. [Note: This is the clinical treatment manual for IPT with older adults.] \nWeissman\, M.M.\, Markowitz\, J.C.\, & Klerman\, G.L. (2018). The guide to interpersonal psychotherapy: Updated and expanded edition. New York: Oxford University Press. \nPlease note: This is the 2nd session in our 3 part IPT series. \nInterpersonal Psychotherapy Training Series \nMonday\, June 14\, 2:00pm – 4:30pm CT\nMonday\, June 21\, 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm CT\nMonday\, June 28\, 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm CT

SUMMARY:Illinois Policy Academy Session 1
DESCRIPTION:In the context of COVID-19\, the needs and health disparities of older adults have been laid bare. Older adults with mental health and substance use issues have faced even greater disparities\, as social isolation\, loneliness\, limited access to health care and support structures\, and the stigma of behavioral health treatment have led to exacerbation of health issues and increases in “deaths of despair.” \nAs vaccinations rise\, and our world begins to return to some new normal\, many older adults – especially those with mental health and substance use issues – will not just bounce back. How do we plan for long term and secondary effects of the pandemic for older adults? \nMeeting these needs will require collaboration across state entities\, and perhaps across state lines\, to build bridges and create policy for action that supports recovery. Participants from the Single State Authority (SSA)\, State Mental Health Authority (SMHA)\, and the State Unit on Aging (SUA)\, along with Housing Authority (HA)\, Transportation Authority (TA)\, and and community-based organizations will be invited to discuss local issues and resources to create solutions. \nThis event is by invitation only.
