Course Description

As clinicians, we tend to over focus on the negative physical consequences of risk taking when we have safety concerns for our clients. Discover how to engage in a balanced and broadened approach to risk assessment to support person-centered care that has led to an improved care experience for the older adult, their caregiver and the clinician. Learn how you can apply this approach to your clinical practice.
