Communicating Effectively with Elders/Seniors
E1001 - Massage CE Program - 8 CE Hour(s)
There are currently more than 35 milliion Americans over the age of 65. As the population continues to age, geriatric massage is one of the fastest growing specialties in the area of massage therapy. Improve your professional and personal relationship skills by becoming more effective in communicating with your elders. Providing valuable insight into the elder life stage and the challenges of aging, illness and loss, the course text includes cases from the author's 20+ years in practice as a psychotherapist and clinical specialist.
In this course you will:
- strengthen intergenerational communications
- recognize the essential, compassionate responses to illness and disability
- recognize the most important tasks of aging
- identify how to reduce relationship risks
- understand the key challenges of illness and loss
- discover how to age well by being proactive
The emergent senior population will have a huge impact on our healthcare system, and massage therapists can have an equally large impact on influencing their health.
Student Reviews
Amazing book for a perfect time in my life - I'm 35, my grandmother just died and I'm using this book with my grandfather. Thank you!- Heidi Newton, Spokane, WA
This course helps you to consider your own aging process as well as sharing the process with an elder- Gregory M. Satorie
The material was very informative and the author seemed very knowledgeable although the book itself seemed disorganized. Taking the test was confusing. Sometimes it seemed as if more than one answer was correct so you had to find the exact quote in the book.- Carmen Rosypal
It is amazing how much this course/book has to offer. Aging has so many misconceptions in our culture and this book is a brilliant look at how to recognize and address them. It provides clear tools to help have a better perspective and improve communication skills with everyone. This course should be offered with all massage/nursing care-giver fields.- Jalim Ritch, NCMT, LMT Portland, ME
Aging As A Shared Journey is an important book, it addresses issues of aging from birth to death. Its novel approach addresses much more than seniors. Excellent!- James Allegretto, Madison, VA
I can see how this relates to my elderly clients, but I especially see how this information can relate to my life. (family, parents, friends)- Katherine V. Albers, LMT
This book was great! Even though I am still at the young age of 23, I found it very informational and can't wait to share this with my family!- Kristin Dhom
This course provides an inexpensive & convenient way to acquire CEU's; very timely also.- Linda Hall, Certified Reflexologist
