IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ:
CEUs: Days 1 & 2 taken together
meet the requirement for 10 hours of aging and long-term care training for
pre-licensure in California for MFTs and LCSWs. To receive CEUs, you must
attend all of both days. There will be two 15-minute breaks
and one 60-minute break for lunch each day of the training.
Aging and Long-Term Care for Caregivers of Children
at Risk (2-Day) -10 CAMFT & RN CE Credits
This ten-hour course
will cover topics in aging and long-term care for the LCSW, MFT and
Psychologist pre-license education requirement in CA. This course is only for
those who entered a degree program on or after 1/1/2004; for all others this is
not a pre-licensure requirement. Some myths and stereotypes of aging will be
explored, which may influence your ability to effectively assess and treat the
elderly, and their children and grandchildren who may be struggling
to assist them with a myriad of physical, psychological and
social needs. Moreover, when a senior has become a legal guardian of his or her
grandchildren, prompt and appropriate assessment of mental status
changes is crucial for meeting the needs of both ends of the lifespan. Topics
will include: distinguishing “normal” aging changes in intellectual,
cognitive and memory functioning from those which are a consequence of disease;
introduction to the biopsychosocial model of assessment and psychotherapeutic
treatment of older adults; and issues involved when working with the elderly
and their families when they confront long-term care. You will also have a
chance to challenge assumptions about your own aging and potentially look at
issues that may impact how you plan for your life as a
senior. It is hoped that you will exit
this 2-day training knowing more about how to age well.?The following sources,?Attia and Gifford (2023),?Fabbre and?Gaveras (2020), Greenberg (2019), and Gupta (2021),
will be used to support best practices and improve outcomes for elders and
their grandchildren.

Presented By: Maximilian Fuentes Fuhrmann, Ph.D. ABPP
Clinical Psychologist Gerontologist
Maximilian E. Fuhrmann received his B.A. in
psychology, M.A. and Ph.D. from the renowned clinical-aging
psychology program, all from the University of Southern California. He was also
one of the first to obtain a certificate in gender studies from the Study of Women
and Men in Society (SWMS) program at USC. He currently holds an adjunct faculty
appointment in the USC School of Social Work and supervises doctoral
students in the clinical-aging psychology program also at USC. Since
1992, he has primarily worked as a clinical psychologist in private practice,
specializing in geriatrics and GLBT concerns with offices in Westlake Village
and Beverly Hills. He has provided over 200 mandatory
educational trainings in gerontological issues to licensed
psychotherapists and graduate students. He is certified by the American Board
of Professional Psychology (ABPP) in geropsychology and was a
certified trainer for the National Resource Center on LGBT Aging.
Since 2004, he has
provided the required 10-hour trainings in Aging and
Long-Term Care for Caregivers of Children at
Risk for clinicians working for Los Angeles County Youth and
Family Services at the USC Center on Child
Welfare now through the UCLA Luskin School for Social
Welfare. The emphasis of these presentations has been on how to evaluate
grandparents’ ability to become or maintain status as legal guardians
of their grandchildren. Additionally, he taught gerontology and psychology
courses at California State University Northridge (CSUN) for 18 years. He has
also taught at the California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI) and at
California Lutheran University (CLU) in Thousand Oaks. Clinicians who
train with Dr. Fuhrmann will deepen their understanding of the
unique mental health needs of older adults especially those who care
for children at risk, including assessment through the biopsychosocial model,
common diagnostic and treatment issues, countertransference dynamics, and
effective psychotherapeutic approaches. By participating in Dr.
Fuhrmann’s training, clinicians will be better equipped to
support older clients and their families through culturally
responsive care, effective interventions for geriatric mental health and
neurocognitive disorders, and increased awareness of the complex social,
psychological, and identity-related factors impacting older adults.
Note: There will
be two 15-minute breaks and one 60-minute break for lunch each day of
the training, during which continuing education credit is not accrued.
