The contents of our training programmes are underpinned by research evidence and clinical practice. They are relevant for organisations from the people, private and public sectors.
We utilise an integrative, procedural model for counselling older adults that could accommodate various theoretical orientations, be used in conjunction with pharmacotherapy and a wide range of other psychosocial interventions. The model is entrenched in the social cultural milieu of older persons in an Asian context and that takes into account the unique life span developmental issues of later stages of life. The model is based on the problem solving approach and facilitates older adults to identify concerns, strengths, and solve/cope with their concerns. It is a here and now approach and does not delve deeply into past issues.
