About The Event
Why COAPS Designation?
The opioid crisis disproportionately affects older adults. They often resort to prescription opioids for
managing acute pain or chronic conditions. Additionally, alcohol abuse among older individuals is on the
rise. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbates mental health challenges in older adults due to increased
social isolation, leading to trauma, anxiety, and depression.
Key Benefits of COAPS Training:
- Gain essential skills to support older adults facing mental health challenges.
- Become a certified peer specialist equipped to address the unique needs of older individuals.
- Contribute to combating the opioid crisis and alcohol abuse among seniors.
- Make a meaningful impact on the mental well-being of older adults in your community.
