Cognitive-behavioral conceptualizations and therapy strategies are effective  with  culturally diverse middle-aged and older adults.  There is, however, is a significant workforce shortage of clinicians trained to provide evidence-based mental health services to aging individuals.  This 2-hour webinar is aimed at psychotherapists and integrated care providers with knowledge of and experience providing CBT.  The program describes aging-friendly modifications to assessment, treatment planning and implementation, with CBT strategies for later life depression used as examples.  The presentation will also include resources for clinical practice with middle-aged and older adults and recommendations for further professional development.

CONTINUING EDUCATION (CE) Learning objectives:

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe 3 examples of screening and assessment tools validated for use with older adults
  2. Develop treatment plans that effectively prioritize a range of concerns associated with later life depression
  3. Explain common adjustments to CBT sessions with middle-aged and older therapy clients
  4. Identify professional development resources for improving treatment outcomes with individuals in the second half of life
