The population is aging. By 2050, World Health Organization reports the proportion of the world’s older adults is estimated to increase to 2 billion people over the age of 60 or 22% of the population. Are your agency’s professionals prepared to work with this older population with unique issues and concerns seeking treatment?

Family caregivers of older adults with chronic health issues provide many hours of unpaid service over long time periods (for many, it can be 10 years or more). While many caregivers report benefits from providing care to loved ones, it is a stressful job often burdening the caregiver with tasks beyond their experience with little training offered. Are you looking for an intervention that you can offer caregivers to help them with stress, mood, isolation and more?
