Back in the field of aging?

So I thought I was done with older adults.A year ago I accepted a job in correctional treatment and turned my back on elders. But I found my knowledge and experience followed me. I was assigned duties that built on what I brought to the job. And I found a bunch of social workers that need to have a ten hour training on "Aging and Long Term Care" so they can get a license. Part of my old assignment was to teach such a class. And the social workers in jail work really hard. They deserve to have the class provided, instead of having to pay hundreds of dollars to take it on their own time. So this week I am teaching a class on older adults. I will draw heavily on material I presented here, and in past presentaions that I refer to in past blogs. But there is news. Older Adults continue to make the news. The most recent event to make a headline was the death of Dr William Butler. He was the psychiatrist that coined the term "ageism" in 1969 and with his wife, a social worker, wrote the first text book I had on aging. They also wrote a book together called Sex over 60. He died of leukemia at 83 years old on Independance Day. He will be missed.
