Four and one-half CEUs. Chris Dubble, MSW, PhD (ABD) - facilitator. Includes light working lunch. Reamstown Fire Company Social Hall 12 West Church Street, Reamstown, PA “Aging, intimacy and sexuality - What does older adult sexuality look like?” This workshop will create a safe, supportive, and inclusive educational space for aging services providers to learn about senior sexuality, along with identifying several myths about sexuality and aging. Some of these myths include: older adults are at a time in life when sexuality no longer matters, they are not engaging in sexual activity, and therefore sexual health is not important, and if older adults have questions or concerns about sexuality they will ask a healthcare provider. Four CEUs. Terri Clark, MPH, CHES - facilitator. Includes light working lunch. StoneRidge Retirement Living 440 East Lincoln Avenue, Myerstown, PA Thursday, April 2, 2015 10 am - 3:00 pm “Creating inclusive services for LGBT older adults.” According to National Resource Center on LGBT Aging survey: “Nearly nine in 10 respondents said that they thought long-term care staff would discriminate against someone who came out in a facility; eight in 10 responded that they would expect mistreatment or bullying from nursing home residents; one in 10 reported that nursing home staff had disregarded a medical power of attorney when it was assigned to a resident's partner. Transgender elders in particular reported that they experienced isolation and staff refusal to recognize their gender identities. Training topics include defining words relative to providing services to LGBT older adults, identifying unique challenges faced by LGBT older adults and their impact on health outcomes. Four CEUs. Terri Clark, MPH, CHES - facilitator. Includes light working lunch. StoneRidge Retirement Living 440 East Lincoln Avenue, Myerstown, PA Friday, May 1, 2015 9:30 am - 2:30 pm “SOCIAL CAPITAL: The power and potency of relationships.” All of us are interested in a better community where all people are safe, have an opportunity for accessible and affordable homes, jobs or meaningful daytime opportunities and lifestyles of their choice. Yet, the outcomes in this are still not satisfactory for people who are vulnerable due to disability or other compromises. This presentation takes a close look at all the reasons why our systems have not been more successful in these goals, defines and delineates the concept of social capital and offers a community-building perspective designed to shift the culture to be more inclusive and supportive to all people. Five CEUs. Al Condeluci, PhD - facilitator. Includes light working lunch. Shady Maple Farm Market & Smorgasbord 129 Toddy Drive, East Earl, PA
