New Online Course in Relocation Stress Syndrome in the Elderly Population and The Silent Killer: Stress and Burnout

Oregon City, OR, July 31, 2008 --(PR.com)-- EasyCEU Announces Nationally Approved Continuing Education Course in Relocation Stress Syndrome in the Elderly Population and The Silent Killer: Stress and Burnout.

EasyCEU.com announced this week two new online administrator continuing education courses: Relocation Stress Syndrome in the Elderly Population and The Silent Killer: Stress and Burnout.

Relocation Stress Syndrome in the Elderly is a course developed by an instructor new to the EasyCEU team, Tracy Greene Mintz, who is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), trainer and consultant based in Southern California. Ms. Greene Mintz has taught on the topic of Relocation Stress Syndrome in the elderly across the U.S. to case managers, administrators, nurses, social workers, skilled therapists and other disciplines that serve seniors. She also leads semi-annual workshops for families with aging members and one-on-one counseling to seniors themselves.

“I’m not trying to change the system as much as I am trying to help clients become more effective consumers in that system. I prefer to train direct care staff to recognize and reinforce consumer-based choices because it is in their interest to do so. In other words, encouraging seniors to actively participate in their care makes everyone’s job easier, which reduces costs and leads to positive outcomes for everyone, including the organization. I always address the business angle because health care in the U.S. is a business and all staff should appreciate the crucial link between good customer service and good care,” says Greene Mintz.

Greene Mintz is a member of the medical staff (affiliated health professional) at the Motion Picture & Television Fund hospital in Los Angeles, the California Geriatrics Society and the National Association of Social Workers. Prior to becoming a social worker, Ms. Greene Mintz worked for twelve years in the film and television industry.

“The Silent Killer: Stress and Burnout” is the fourth course by popular instructor David Hahklotubbe. In the course, the foundation is laid by providing the grim statistics of how burnout affects the physical, emotional & financial well-being of the long term care provider, and tools are provided to reduce stress and prevent burnout. Applied activities of the course include Purposeful Breathing, Smudging (spiritual Native American cleansing), Releasing the Demons through Drumming, Visualization and Aroma Therapy.

“The goal of this class is to educate while relaxing, recharging and rejuvenating,” says Hahklotubbe, an instructor in Gerontology at San Francisco State University and host of the television show on elder care called “Successful Aging Today.” Hahk, as Hahklotubbe is known, brings both his heritage and personal experience into his teaching, making his online courses some of the most popular in EasyCEU’s course catalogue.
