In Service to Vulnerable Older People: Roles and Practices

How can we best support the vulnerable older people in our lives? This session will help listeners identify vulnerable older people, provide suggestions for markers and red flags for changes in mental and physical health and offer a toolkit of strategies for successful interactions, whether in-person or at a distance.
