Family, caregivers and professionals in the field of aging frequently ignore the issue of substance abuse and dependence. Common misconceptions and stereotypes unfortunately prevent the elderly from locating care for the disease of addiction. Elderly adults commonly misuse and combine medications, resulting in abuse and/or dependency. Through education and preventative measures, precautions can be taken to reduce the onset of abuse and subsequently the treatment for dependence. This workshop will highlight warning signs, diagnostic criteria for abuse and dependency, dangers of medication overuse, identify medications commonly misused, explore obstacles to recovery and identify resources for care.

Recorded Webinar: Realistic Optimism, Improving Life Satisfaction
Is your client’s glass half empty or half full? Optimism has little to do with circumstances and luck and more to do with choices, problem solving and explanatory styles. Long-term pessimism can lead to depression and learned helplessness. But, the goal is not to try and be “happy” all the time. Realistic optimism presents a narrative that includes adversity and challenges in addition to life satisfaction. Learn practical strategies to replace negative thinking with a more positive (and accurate) view. Objectives: 1) Determine controllable factors to set reasonable expectations. 2) Demonstrate optimistic and pessimistic explanatory styles. 3) Integrate problem-solving strategies to improve client engagement.
