According to Canada’s recent census, the number of seniors outweighs the number of Canadians aged 14 and under. As a professional who works with or advises elderly persons, it is imperative you have a grasp on the multidisciplinary nature of elder law, along with your obligations.
Over five, intensive one-day modules – spread out over multiple weeks – you will develop a comprehensive knowledge, gain practical and relevant information of the various areas of law that intersect with caring for elderly clients and expand your professional network.
This program goes beyond the traditional approach to the subject matter and explores the aging process to better understand the circumstances of older adults. There is emphasis on skills-based learning, with in-class lectures being supplemented with group exercises, role play simulations, case studies and peer interactions.
Fees include attendance and program materials for each of the days of the program. The price does not include accommodations. Please inquire about group discounts and financial assistance. Dress is business casual.
