Aging and Long Term Care (10 CEUs)

Some myths and stereotypes of aging will be explored, which may influence  your ability to effectively assess and treat the elderly and their children and grandchildren who may be struggling to assist them with a  myriad of physical, psychological and social needs. Topics will include:  distinguishing "normal" aging changes in intellectual, cognitive and memory functioning from those which are a consequence of disease; introduction to the biopsychosocial model of assessment and Psychotherapeutic treatment of older adults.   

The University Consortium for Children and Families (UCCF) is offering a limited number of spaces in courses free of charge exclusively to USC MSW and DSW alumni. 

A $50 deposit (plus Eventbrite Fees) will be refunded at the conclusion of the course, pending verification of your attendance. Note: Courses are offered on a one course, per student, per fiscal year basis (July 1 - June 30), so please only register for one course.

The courses are intended to help you stay apprised of recent developments and standards in clinical practice.
