If you need support registering for this or any other courses while the system is down, please contact webinars@servicecoordinator.org Money will not be collected for this pre-registration until this event is moved to the new database. Registrants will be billed after the event has moved. The webinar is 2 - 3:00 Eastern on March 26, 2026. This is a Throwback Thursday webinar offering for 1 training contact hour. As people age, not only are there greater struggles with physical health, but mental health issues can also become more apparent. Depression and anxiety tend to be the most common diagnoses among older adults. This webinar will review the key signs to look for in this population. With greater education and knowledge, the hope is to reduce the stigma of mental health conditions that make individuals reluctant to get the help they need. Who Should Attend: Elderly; Advanced Social Services
Learning Objectives Understand the mental health issues that affect older adults. Learn the signs of depression and how this differs in older adults. Discuss the warning signs and risk factors that can lead to suicide. Identify preventative measures and resources to utilize when encountering an individual with suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors.
