Do older adults have the right to self-neglect or make ‘bad’ decisions? What are the ethics behind self-neglect and decision-making capacity? What is hoarding? Why do people start hoarding? How do things get so bad? How and when can you intervene? While cases of self-neglect and hoarding can be extremely complicated, these are questions we will address in our upcoming webinar. Using case examples, experts will discuss balancing safety and self-determination, the psychology behind hoarding, and the resources and interventions available to older adults in need of assistance. This webinar is designed for Villages, community members, caregivers, and professionals working with older adults.
Speakers: KerryAnn Aleibar, LCSW-C, ElderSAFE Center Program Manager, Charles E. Smith Life Communities; Frederika Granger, LCSW-C, Clinical Social Worker, specializing in older adults, anxiety, depression, hoarding and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder; Julia Frank McGlamary, LCSW-C, Montgomery County Adult Protective Services Supervisor.
