Ethical Considerations with Caring for Aging Parents and Elder Abuse
December 6, 2024 - 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM ET

All of us will, at some point, be in the position of caring for an aging parent, if we have not, already, or will have a client who is in this role. The workshop will also provide an overview of what elder abuse is and who is considered an older adult. In addition, the NASW Code of Ethics and the NASW Standards of Practice for Social Work Practice with Family Caregivers of Older Adults will be woven throughout the workshop.
