Upcoming Workshop! Learn about new directions in long-term care.



SELF-DIRECTED PATHWAYS FOR CARE
Friday, April 4, 2014
9 a.m. 12:00 p.m.
Memorial Lounge (338 Waterman Building)

SELF-DIRECTED PATHWAYS FOR CARE:  New Choices for Elders and People with Disabilities
Recent trends, including demographic transitions and changes in public policy, have resulted in increased demand for community-based long-term services and supports to assist older adults and persons with disabilities in their preferred home settings. Reflecting core social work values, new directions in long-term care aim to promote choice and maximize autonomy. 


Come talk with social work practitioners, students, faculty and community partners about new options in long-term services and supports.

Together, we will explore:
  • Person-Centered, Participant-Directed Care 
  • Perspectives of Service Users and Providers 
  • Ethics of Community-Based Care


Morning munchies will be provided.  Three (3) CEUs (1 Ethics) will be available to participants.
RSVP to Fiona Patterson, Fiona.Patterson@uvm.edu, by Friday, March 21st.
