Suicide and Aging: What You Need to Know
Caregiver Teleconnection sessions are one hour learning sessions that can be done via Zoom or over the phone for caregivers of older persons. Experts from around the country share information important to caregiving. Caregivers will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as hear from other caregivers.
Our sessions are geared for the family members taking care of a loved one over the age of 60. Professionals are also welcome to participate as well.
Did you know that persons aged 65 and over account for 18% of the suicides in the United States? We often do not talk about it due to stigma, but we need to! Join Dr. Natalee Oliver, DSW as she discusses the signs, symptoms and basics of understanding suicide in the aging population.
