Description:
This training is typically presented to providers and agency management. It will review the growing body of literature on bullying in older adult residential settings, which is beginning to be recognized as problematic, although largely under-researched and under-reported. Research to date will be discussed, as well as intervention lessons learned from school bullying initiatives and social psychology. Examples of intervention models being used and studied to decrease bullying will be discussed. The training will focus on strategies that staff and administration can use to identify bullying and decrease resident victimization and an individual level as well as an agency level.
Objectives:
- Participants will be able to identify signs and symptoms of bullying in a senior setting.
- Participants will learn interventions that can help decrease bullying. Interventions will be reviewed that address the victim and address the perpetrator of bullying, and interventions that can impact bullying in a setting from an administrative level to direct staff level.
- Participants will understand the growing problem of bullying in older residential settings.
- Assist staff and agency management with strategies to help identify bullying and decrease resident harassment as it relates to their community.
- Discuss intervention models being used and studied to decrease bullying.
Target Audience: providers and agency management
