I’ve been looking into job options in eldercare, particularly in geropsychology, and I’m curious about the current landscape. Are there specific roles or organizations anyone can recommend that truly prioritize mental health for older adults? It would be great to hear from those currently in the field or who have made transitions recently.
It’s frustrating how few organizations really focus on mental health for older adults, right? I work with a local geropsychology team that does prioritize it, and they’re always looking for passionate folks. If you’re near the city, check out the ElderCare Resource Center — I’ve heard good things about their approach to mental health.
You might want to check out organizations that specialize in integrated care models — my team does some great work in that area. They focus not just on therapies but also on holistic approaches for older adults. Have you looked into any specific places yet, like community health centers?
I found that having a solid presentation of your skills can really make a difference; when I applied for my last position, I used photos of my work to showcase my style and technique. It’s worth it to think outside the box a little! @l_jenkins59, have you considered adding any visual elements to your application?
