Description
Webinar is made possible through a generous Quality of Life Grant from the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.
This training will discuss ways to assess and intervene when challenging behaviors interfere with caring for older adults. We will review examples related to individuals, such as challenging behaviors that may be directed at caregivers, and examples related to groups, such as peer-to-peer aggression or bullying in older adult communities. Intervention strategies across roles, from direct care to administration, will be discussed.
Define behavior and how behaviors are learned and maintained. Identify some common challenging behaviors in older adult populations. Learn strategies for problem solving challenging behaviors. Learn potential intervention strategies for the challenging behaviors. 2.0 Social Work CEUs Available* (Pending Approval)
