Mental Health and Aging Education Modules

The Mental Health and Aging Coalition-KIPDA Region received a grant from the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities) to create online education for professionals working with older adults. The Mental Health and Aging Coalition partnered with the Trager Institute to create the modules.   The goal of the education is to promote awareness, appropriately assess, identify mental health symptoms in older adults and coordinate care. 

Instructions

Complete the modules in consecutive order.  Please complete the questionnaire prior to beginning the modules and the pre and post questions in each module.

Attention: Our pre- and post-test are conducted through google sheets. As such some computers, including government computers, may block your access these tests. You are still able to access all modules and you will be able to receive a certificate at the end of each one even if you are unable to access the pre- and post-tests.
