Goal Attainment Scaling: Defining the Success of Elder Mistreatment Interventions

Friday, December 15, 2017
9:00 am – 11:00 am

A convenient location in midtown Manhattan. Location details provided upon registration.

PRESENTER

David Burnes, PhD, Assistant Professor at University of Toronto, Factor-Inwentash Faculty Social Work and Affiliate Scientist at Baycest Health Sciences.

DESCRIPTION

David Burnes, PhD will review current data about the prevalence and risk factors of elder mistreatment, critique the central way of understanding elder mistreatment as a yes/no issue, and make a case for conceptualizing elder mistreatment along a continuum of severity. Dr. Burnes will present his research on a client-centered treatment planning and measurement procedure for use in community-based elder mistreatment response interventions. This is called “goal attainment scaling,” which accommodates different definitions of intervention success across cases.

  • A light breakfast will be served. Please plan to stay at the end of the meeting for networking with your colleagues. 
  • There is no fee for this educational and networking event.
  • Space is limited. First come, first served
  • Please email Kasey Brown at kbrown@nyceac.org, or call (212) 746-1416 with any questions.
