Overview:
While every age group is at risk for suicide, older adults are one of the most vulnerable groups. Those seniors above age 65 have a disproportionately higher risk of attempting suicide, as well as a higher lethality rate. This training will introduce learners to the proper assessment of risk level in seniors, ethical considerations, and how to facilitate managed risk plans with senior clients.
By Attending Our Workshop, You Will Be Able To:
- Recognize etiology of suicide and end of life considerations in older adults.
- Interpret ethical values of autonomy, dignity and beneficence as they relate to older adult suicide and end of life decisions.
- Evaluate a care perspective on suicide and end of life care by applying the Social Work Assessment Tool (SWAT).
