BABY BOOMER, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS TRAINING
Three Hour Training
Among older adults, substance use disorder, particularly of alcohol and prescription drugs, is the fastest-growing health problem facing the United States. Projections indicate that since 2001, prescription drug misuse has increased by 100 percent among older adults. The primary reason for the increase in substance use among baby boomers is later in life transitions.
Statistics show that many older adults struggle to cope with late-life changes, such as losing a spouse, retirement, chronic illness, and financial hardship.
To curb the increase in substance use, older adults must be equipped with strategies to manage stressors associated with late-life transitions; healthcare professionals must be able to identify the warning signs of substance use disorders in the older adult population and how to address these matters in a holistic and culturally sensitive manner.
This training reviews later-in-life transitions faced by baby boomers, the effects these changes can have on older adults, and how co-occurring disorders can be managed through a holistic wellness and culturally sensitive approach.
ETHICS AND RACIAL BIAS
