In this session, participants will learn how to recognize and appropriately respond to the different types of elder abuse.

Session 4: Palliative Care in Elder Care

In this session, participants will be provided with an overview of the rituals, prayers, and beliefs about the Afterlife held by Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and Sikh patients.
