About This Course

At the end of the course, participants will be able to build stronger relationships and communicate more effectively through self-awareness and counselling, understand common issues of the elderly, such as loneliness, isolation, poor health, intergenerational, and learn interventions to deal with these issues, understand challenges faced by caregivers and manage the dynamics of parties involved in the caregiving process, help families to face family issues with strength using Caregiver Family Therapy, understand and apply Bowen Family Systemic Theory to promote understanding and calm reflections within the family context and recommend ways to manage anxiety and stress in caregiving.

What You'll Learn

In this course, participants will learn to apply Gerontological Counselling in building trust and rapport with the elderly and their family members. This will further help participants to explore and understand their thoughts and feelings, and be able to identify and deal with the diverse issues experienced in a family. Bowen Family Systemic Theory will be taught to help one’s family work together better and keep anxieties low. Caregiver Family Therapy (CFT) will be introduced to participants as CFT is a treatment model that offers a framework for addressing the complex needs and issues of families. One of its components is Self-Care. Hence, the Biopsychosocial Model will be used to help participants to manage stress and prevent burnout while attending to the needs of the elderly and family caregiving issues.
