Overview

Later life can often be a time of many different losses, such as the loss of friends or loved ones, the loss of physical functioning and/or health, the loss of cognitive acuity, and the loss of status. When clients have experienced several of these losses, it can present challenges to mental health professionals regarding how to encourage improved mood and mental health when interpersonal, physical, social, and financial resources are narrowed. This training will present several approaches within mental health interventions that can help older adults with mental illness who are facing the challenges of aging and loss.
