Aging Course 4G. 'Improving Behavior and Cognitive Functioning In the Elderly Patient, Through A Structured Skills-Based Treatment Approach.' a.k.a., 'How Do You Address Cognitive Impairment and Decline with Behavioral Issues, in the Geriatric Population?'
You can VIEW A DEMO (Preview) of this course by clicking HERE. Or jump to the CATALOG HERE, TO READ MORE about this course .... or to purchase it - only $28.
This course presents a STRUCTURED SKILLS-BASED TREATMENT approach to working with cognitive impairment and behavioral difficulties of the elderly. The course also helps you to ASSESS and PRIORITIZE the cognitive impairment and behavioral issues at hand.
Is it always Alzheimer's when we see a cognitively impaired and behaviorally confused elderly client appear at our door? No. And thus there are treatment interventions that can help. The interventions in this course are particularly helpful with cognitive confusion or acute cognitive impairment associated with sudden or traumatic changes or events – things like a stroke, major shift in living arrangement (e.g., a move to a nursing home, the loss of one’s personal home and possessions), death of a spouse, loss of independence (perhaps due to a stroke or surgery, or physical illness), or other external factors.
Aging 4G is a 4 hour online study course that is unique, fast paced, and entertaining in a slide show format. Appropriate for Social Workers, Professional Counselors, Rehabilitation Counselors, and others who work with aging individuals in a variety of settings.
We present a creative and effective approach to working with cognitive and behavioral difficulties of the elderly which are encountered in private practices, mental health clinics, nursing homes, and adult day care centers.
GOALS OF AGING COURSE 4G:
1. Overview of Cognitive and Behavioral (Functional) Deficits of the non-Alzheimer's Geriatric Population. How is the cognitive and behavioral dysfunction of the AGING population different than we see with other people with such issues?
2. Specific Techniques for Reconnecting and Reinforcing Cognitive Processes in AGING INDIVIDUALS.
3. Behavioral Management Techniques Tailored To The Aging or Geriatric Patient.
4. Designing and Implementing Individualized Treatment Plans for Cognitively and Behaviorally Impaired Aging Mental Health Consumers.
5. Effective Documentation of Such Treatment

GOALS OF ETHICS COURSE 2D:
1. Learn terms that should be understood related to individuals' LEGAL RIGHT to make End of Life Care Decisions.
2. Awareness of the research-verified need for more effective Advance Directives counseling (end of life care planning), and differentiation between the categories of individuals for whom Advance Directives are an issue, i.e., the elderly vs younger individuals and those with certain diseases.
3. Understanding of the BENEFITS of addressing end of life preferences with persons who are terminally ill or are in a life threatening situation, as well as with their surrogates (family or representatives).
4. Learn a five-part, research-supported PROCESS for structuring discussions about end-of-life preferences, which inherently supports our ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY for assuring the welfare and legal rights of the client.
5. Based upon research findings, understand the FACTORS which typically affect individuals' choices about End of Life Care in various situations - thus enhancing ability to ETHICALLY GUIDE DISCUSSIONS about end of life care.
