NURS 66650 Group Therapy with Older Adults Discussion
As the
population continues to age, more and more older adults will require therapy
for various mental health issues. While the group setting offers many benefits
and makes therapy more accessible to those in need of services, this
therapeutic approach may not be effective for all clients. For this Discussion,
as you examine your own practicum experiences with older adults in group
therapy settings, consider strategies to improve the effectiveness of your
sessions.
