Course Information
Train to support older people and their physical and mental health needs with this great distance learning course.
This course considers the different issues that are faced by older people, such as retirement, lifestyle changes, bereavement, chronic illness, terminal illness and death and how to provide these individuals with appropriate support.
Although many aspects of counselling are directly applicable to all age groups, working with the elderly also requires a different set of skills and knowledge to ensure that elderly clients receive appropriate support. Younger people often struggle to envisage what it might be like to be elderly, but if they are able to gain insight into the ageing process they are much better at empathising with their needs.
