Professional Development and training

I conduct presentations and discussions on a wide range of topics facing older adults and their families, as well as to other professionals who work with older adults (such as nurses, home health aids, administrative staff, social workers, and more).

Examples of topics:

Mental Health for Older Adults
In-Home Care 101 for Older Adults
End-of-Life Decisions
Dementia / Alzheimer's
In-Home Care 101
Professional Boundaries
Family Conflict and Older Adults
Crisis Situations with Older Adults

Contact me for more information on topics and availability. I am able to create a customized training to meet the unique needs of your community or staff as well.
