Implement various supportive measures for elderly individuals

Course Description: Seventy percent (70%) of adults in the U.S. have experienced at least one traumatic event in their lives, and many have even lived for years with PTSD. This can become even more complicated in the elderly, especially if they start having problems with mental decline. In this webinar, we will discuss the etiology of trauma, signs and symptoms, forms of treatment and how you the caregiver can offer support for these individuals.
