As the population
of older adults grows, increasing numbers of older adults in three distinct
categories might require the services of mental health, substance abuse, and
aging systems in the future: (1) older adults with mental health conditions;
(2) individuals who develop late-life mental health conditions; and (3) persons
living with dementia and co-occurring treatable mental health conditions or
substance abuse disorders. Aging, disabilities, and mental health network
professionals are invited to watch the recordings of this webinar training series on behavioral
health crisis management for older adults to strengthen knowledge and skills to
meet the current and future needs of older adults with, or at risk of
developing, mental illness. This training series emphasizes digital service
delivery where digital is defined as any type of technology ranging from
telephone, text messaging, smartphone apps, videoconference, videogames, and social
media to virtual reality.
