Intimacy and Aging - How to Support Romance Across the Lifespan - Professional Caregiver Webinar

Part of the Empowering Professionals in Aging series
Presented by Home Instead®
Interest in intimacy exists throughout the life span and should be supported in later life. This topic is often controversial and misunderstood in society and therefore, professionals and families are often reluctant to openly discuss intimacy. It is important to acknowledge that both emotional and physical intimacies are forms of how we all show love and caring, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Join this webinar to learn more about romantic relationships, sexual desires and intimacy needs of older adults. Also learn about how best to address common concerns such as sexual health, family dynamics and cognitive issues. Participants will gain strategies to help navigate difficult conversations and learn where to access the resources available for providers and families to support intimacy and aging.
