Supporting Older Adults Impacted by Incarceration

  • Date: Wednesday November 12, 2025

  • Time: 1:00pm- 3:00pm

  • Topic: Supporting Older Adults Impacted by Incarceration

  • Speaker: Alexandra Webb, LCSW, SVP for Training and Initiatives, Service Program for Older People

  • Modality: Zoom

  • Cost: FREE

Description: Join us for an interactive virtual training designed specifically for aging service professionals working with older adults in community-based settings and programs.

Older people often face a variety of barriers upon release from incarceration. They often experience accelerated aging as a result, making their behavioral health and wellbeing central to their return to the community. In this session, we will explore the mental health and substance use needs in older people recently released from incarceration, and some interventions to provide treatment. We will examine the qualities of anti-ageist, anti-ableist, trauma informed settings to more fully support their needs and help them develop community and connection.
