Recording Available: Evidence-Based Strategies for Supporting Older Adults with Depression and Anxiety

The recording is now available for the CE Webinar “Evidence-Based Strategies for Supporting Older Adults with Depression and Anxiety.”

Depression and anxiety are frequently underrecognized in older adults, yet they significantly impact functional status, quality of life, and overall health outcomes. 

Timed with Mental Illness Awareness Week and Pharmacy Month, this webinar highlights evidence-based screening, referral, and intervention strategies to support emotional well-being in aging populations. 

This CE Webinar explores both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic approaches, including ComForCare’s Joyful Memories program, and how in-home care teams can play a vital role in early identification, ongoing support, and collaborative care.

Session Objectives:

• Identify common signs and risk factors for depression and anxiety in older adults.
• Understand appropriate screening and referral pathways.
• Compare pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic intervention strategies.
• Describe how engagement-focused programs support emotional well-being and cognitive health.
