Lawyers who serve older adults will encounter mental health and addiction issues in their clients that present differently from those in a younger population. As our profession ages, this is relevant to us as well. Biases about age, mental health and addiction can prevent us from being as effective as we might be. Learn the realities, risk factors and resources for working with older clients and colleagues. The program will also offer a protocol to encourage someone to get help.
