Objectives:
-
Identify and challenge systemic and personal stereotypes and promote positive attitudes toward aging, and conceptualize later life as part of a developmental process with unique mental health challenges.
-
Recognize risk factors for mental health problems in older adults and identify barriers to diagnosis and treatment.
-
Characterize unique presentations of mental health disorders in older adults and employ evidence-based assessments and treatments, and distinguish normal and abnormal cognitive aging.
