This is a free in-person event at Weaverville Public Library, facilitated by the Vaya Health Geriatric Team. Contact Hours are provided through NC Department of Health and Human Services.
An individual can experience a crisis suddenly and without warning, especially when symptoms of a mental illness are involved. As a caregiver or responder, possessing skills that support de-escalation is imperative. Did you know that you can help? This course provides information about crises in older adults, barriers to de-escalation, and specific methods of stabilizing support.
Registration Required: Please register by calling Weaverville Public Library at (828)250-6482.
