Our profession and our clients are aging. Learn about mental health
(including cognitive impairment) and addiction issues and the realities, risk
factors and resources specific to older adults. Understand unique barriers to
getting help in older adults, characteristics of older adult mental health,
chemical dependency and gambling problems and the difference between dementia,
grief and depression. The program will touch on ethical issues that can arise
if impairment is present and will offer a protocol to encourage someone to get
help.

7:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. How to Have a
More Dementia-friendly Law Practice(live video
screening)
It's no secret at this point that we are
all going to have many more elderly clients on our hands as the generational
demographics play out. The broader legal community is justly preparing itself
for the projected increase in a particular kind of client capacity issue –
Dementia. Specific to Minnesota, the population of clients with Dementia is
projected to increase from 94,000 (2018) to 120,000 (2025) – a 27.7%
increase.
While Dementia is certainly not a
brand-new medical condition, research on it and the statistical upswing of its
presence in the general population make this disease something you should know
more about. Not only that, but what are the differences between "normal aging"
and Dementia symptoms? How diminished is your client's capacity – and are you
expected to acquire medical expertise to deal with the elderly now? What are
our professional and ethical responsibilities as
lawyers?
