Social Isolation Among Older Persons: Hidden in Plan View
Social isolation is a growing health crisis. Despite its name, it is in plain view and begs attention. With the growing number of older persons at risk, health professionals and caregivers should be alert to identify and respond to symptoms. Eradicating social isolation is within our reach. Doing so can save lives. Participants in this web seminar will be able to:
- Understand social isolation and health effects
- Identify risk factors of social isolation and social exclusion.
- Implement practices and interventions that can be used to eradicate social isolation.
