Speaking & Training
Due to the rapidly increasing number of older adults in this country, there is a critical shortage of social workers and other professionals trained in gerontology.
I am passionate about addressing this shortage and bring nearly 30 years of experience as a consultant, guest speaker, workshop leader and teacher to my work in the field of aging.
I’ve worked with corporate executives/teams, social work professionals, students and diverse general audiences around aging and other topics as described below.
-
Private Practice Tips and Techniques for Social Workers
-
Working with Older Adults guest lectures
-
Social Work with Older Adults (taught 14-week graduate
course at the University of Michigan for 6 years)
-
Dealing with Difficult People
-

-

-
How to Identify Signs of Depression in Older Adults
-

In addition to these topics, I plan on hosting many more workshops, retreats and private coaching sessions in the future perhaps including:

-
Caregiving strategies and support
-
Distance learning courses on aging
I look forward to working with you to design a format and topic to meet your needs. Please contact me for further information including my fee structure.
