The CNA workshops are funded through a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP) grant. GWEP has many components, all with the goal of improving geriatric outcomes in healthcare.
Professional development for CNAs is one of the key components of GWEP. CNAs are the backbone of elder nursing care and it is critical that CNAs receive evidence-based information related to the care of older adults. These workshops are designed to expand the understanding of normal aging and alterations in normal aging, improve empathy in care for the patient, and increase resiliency in your caring.
We are also developing interprofessional team topics that will build your emotional intelligence skills both personally and professionally. These program support those that care for older populations and lead to better patient outcomes.
