As our population ages, health professionals will see more and more people coming into their clinics living with dementia and who are in desperate need of the support of health professionals. But how do we as health professionals support them and why are many health professionals reluctant to serve the older population? They are two questions explored in this wide-ranging conversation when Jo is joined by Jill Johnson Young.
Jill is the CEO of Central Counseling Services. She specialises in grief and loss, dementia, and end-of-life, and speaks internationally to therapists, allied health professionals, associations for grief, the funeral industry, and community groups. She has also written several books for children and adults on grief. Jill teaches grief and dementia to therapists, and current courses are on her site. Her most recent book is “The Rebellious Widow,” which weaves some of her story into the book you need to prepare for a coming death, the dying process, and recovery.
