Summary:

"In this training video, watch a first- and second-year social work student addressing common situations with aging clients and seeking guidance from their experienced supervisors. First, you'll watch Sarah, a first-year social work student who is hesitant about her placement in a seniors' community center. Sarah is shown trying to engage Mr. Williams, a retired teacher in the neighborhood who recently lost his wife. Then you'll see Ben, a second-year social work student visited by a previous client, Patricia, whose elderly mother is struggling with Alzheimer's disease. In each case, you'll see them engage with their clients and get important guidance from their supervisors, who support them through their own anxieties about this population and help them formulate effective interventions. By watching this video, you will learn key insights specific to aging populations; get 10 valuable teaching points about work with older adults, which take into consideration their unique physical, social, cognitive, and emotional needs; and become familiar with the many aspects of gerontological social work and the various professional opportunities available in this area of the field. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions." Supplied by publisher.
