Week 15 last week ever !!!
Three things I learned from this class. 1. is that depression is linked to older adults with a high percentage and I would use this information out in the field while working with older adults. It will help me to be more sensitive and empathetic with older adults and I would advocate for more awareness and treatment interventions for the older adults.
2. I also learned that elder abuse is just one side of elder mistreatment that it can happen through family,professionally, and personally. I would use this information to be aware of more abuse as I work with the older population. I would use this information to advocate for better services and for research purposes to enhance theraputic services for older adults.
3.The third thing I learned was that we should spend more time with our older adults in our lives and respect them a lot more. As I learned that all older adults do not age equally and are alone most of the time. I would use this info to help advocate for older adults for more sociallization in their lives and to get more families to spend time with older adults.
It was a great Class and Thanks for everytning Dr. Martin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
