It's Time to Talk...Again: Behaviors of Concern for Older Adults - Julie Stevens, MPS, ACPS, ICPS

When people think about getting older, many things come to mind: retirement, grandchildren, and hobbies. But we don’t think of risky behaviors and activities. As a result, many of these behaviors go unnoticed by family, friends, doctors, and caretakers. This workshop is grounded in evidence-based practices and discusses problems involving alcohol and substance abuse, risk and protective factors for older adults, and what to say and do when you see a behavior that concerns you. 2 CE

Please Place Your Oxygen Mask on First - Krystal Skaggs, LPCI

Flight attendants asks us to put on our own oxygen mask first before assisting others. We cannot continue to care for others if our bodies and minds are not functioning well. Many of us are doing the best we can with what we have. Let’s gather and discuss the many stressors of life and the true value of self-care! You will leave with the understanding and knowledge of how to be good to yourself so you can be good for others. Remember, you cannot pour from an empty cup. 2 CE
