Last call for this free CEU registration! Calling on all Social Workers, Case Managers, Nurses, Counselors, Long Term Care Administrators who work with the elderly population. We are inviting you to our FREE CEU in August. Date: Thursday, 8/29/24 Time: 5:45 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. ET Location: LIVE STREAM Cost: FREE Registration Credits: 2 CE credits The overview of the event: As we enter a new chapter in history, our communities are recovering from trauma, grief, and the ripples of a health system that was upended from a global pandemic. As many reflect on the lessons learned, they are reassessing what “aging”, well-being and purposefulness means to them. To this end, it is imperative that helping professionals share evidence-based practices and innovative strategies to improve the health and wellbeing of our aging communities. A key aspect of this includes embracing the concept of purpose in aging so we can better support individuals as they navigate life’s later stages with meaning, fulfillment and dignity. This training includes a pre-recorded segment of a firsthand account of how one senior used music as his purpose and how it changed the lives of other seniors around him. From there, Shanice Rice, MSW, LCSW, will explore how using strategies and resources to help seniors tap into their sense of purposefulness can help improve lives and outcomes for the clients we serve. You will leave this training inspired and equipped with tools to help your clients explore purposefulness in their lives as well.

According to the Family Caregiver Alliance, the average caregiver is a 49-year-old woman who works outside the home and provides up to 20 hours each week of unpaid caregiving to a loved one. Female caregivers provide as much as 50% more time providing care than male counterparts. Caregiver burnout is prevalent among all unpaid caregivers and the physical toll is real. 25% of women caregivers have reported having a health concern as a result of their caregiving activities. These include elevated blood pressure, a greater risk of developing hypertension, poor immune function, and slower wound healing. Women who gave care to a loved one for over 9 hours or more each week increased their risk of developing coronary heart disease twofold.
