Summary:

"In this training video, social work students discuss conducting social work with the elderly and demonstrate various interventions with older clients, from groups to home visits. Under the guidance of their insightful supervisors, social work interns practice engagement, assessment, and termination skills with older clients, while also learning about the concrete needs of this population. In addition to providing interventions, interns are shown having regular meetings with their clients, talking about their week and providing clients with some much-needed interaction. By watching this video, you will learn some of the foundations of working with older populations, such as how to engage clients, the health and safety matters to address, and how to handle termination; watch examples of several interventions with older clients, including group work, concrete services, and supportive home visits; gain insight into the emotions of older clients and learn how to handle their resistance to help and fear of losing independence; and increase your sensitivity to this population by recognizing any preconceptions you have about the elderly. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions." Supplied by publisher.
