This virtual workshop series, hosted by the 988 Crisis System Response Training and Technical Assistance Center, provides information and shares practices with the behavioral health crisis workforce. The goal is to improve understanding of the unique needs of aging adults and the care they receive during a behavioral health crisis. The aging population is expanding, and it’s become increasingly important to address the specific needs of older adults when they face behavioral health crises.
The first workshop of this series will be held on December 12 and delves into the complex relationship between mental health and aging. It will highlight the detrimental effects of stigma and the lack of awareness surrounding mental health conditions on the quality of care for older adults in crisis. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, engage, and equip yourself with tools to enhance crisis services for aging adults.
