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 with age. Professionals serving older adults need an understanding of the unique ways that these disorders can present in older adults, along with the evidence-based assessments and treatments. This workshop will include these topics based on a foundation of general knowledge and attitudes about aging.
Registration: $100, includes 6 Category I CEUs for licensed clinicians, lunch and snacks.

This event will *also* be held November 7 in Goshen. If that date/location works better for you, you can register for the Goshen seminar here: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/qg92n3v
Learning objectives:
-Recognize ageism in our society and its impact on all of us
-Identify unique presentations of older adult mental health issues
-Describe elements of evidence-based assessment and treatment that are unique to older adults
