S2E6 - COVID-19 and the Next Generation of Residential Care Worker: Lessons Learned, with Dr. Anna Azulai

Today we talked with Dr. Anna Azulai about social services relating to older folks and their needs and her research about the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on people living in long-term care and continuing care facilities. Within our conversation we learned about geriatric mental health and also explored how the next generation of social workers can help combat bias and bring a better, more well rounded, approach when treating and assisting older people.

If you would like to follow up with some of Anna’s research, you can read her article on Ageism, her research on depression in adults in long term care facilities, or check out her article on how nurses recognize depression in residential care facilities in Alberta.
