About this event

  • 3 hours

Come join the Department of Public Health and Human Services and learn more about working with older adults. The presentation is a three-parter. The first hour, presented by Susan Gobbs, Staff Attorney, will focus on the tricky subject of senior capacity and how to work with seniors who may have limited capacity. The second hour, presented by professionals from Adult Protective Services will focus on the signs of abuse and financial exploitation and what to do if you suspect it. Finally, Barb Harris with Montana Legal Services Association will discuss how MLSA can be a resource for senior victims. The presentation has been approved for CLE and Nursing Contact Hours. Although CEU certification is no longer issued by the Montana Board of Behavioral Health, we can still issue documentation compliant with the new regulations.
