Topic: Supporting Older Adults Experiencing Depression
Speaker: Alexandra Webb, LCSW, SVP for Training and Initiatives, Service Program for Older People (SPOP)
Description: Join us for an interactive virtual training designed specifically for aging service professionals working with older adults in community-based settings and programs.
Aging doesn't cause depression, but it can camouflage it. In this interactive webinar, we will explore the particular signs, symptoms, and risk factors associated with depression in older adults, while dispelling common myths that often lead to underdiagnosis. We will review evidence-based screening tools, and discuss practical, best-practice interventions to provide compassionate, effective support.
