SWRK 3398 - Social Work & Aging

Credits: 3
This course addresses social work practice with the aged population, focusing on interventions with older adults, the mobilization support systems for the aged in rural and urban areas, and various groups of aging adults and challenges faced. The course engages students in discussion of topics as basic as encouraging the older adults to exercise, to those as complex as the process of differential assessment and diagnosis of depression, dementia, or delirium. Also social work knowledge, values, and skills required for working with individuals, families, and communities as well as the role of caregivers when older adults are limited in their capacity to function independently are addressed.
