Aged Care Workshops

Your Call - Workshop for Staff

As we age, the impact of alcohol becomes more complex, with heightened risks and potential interactions with medications. This workshop focuses on raising awareness and providing the right information to support staff to identify risks around alcohol use in older adults and how to navigate these risks more effectively.

What we cover:

The wider context of alcohol use and older adults in NZ
What makes this cohort unique - alcohol use and chronic health problems, alcohol use and medications, alcohol use and falls
Continuum of use & identifying problematic use
Adopting a pro-active harm reduction approach, and implementing drinking plans
“How’s your pour?” – Understanding standard drinks and the metabolism of these in relation to age, gender, and driving.

How this is run:

The workshop will be delivered by one of our facilitators who specialises in working with older adults around their substance use. The workshops are designed to be interactive, and we provide a warm and engaging approach. The Your Call workshop is approximately 90 minutes in length.

Tipple & Topple - Train The Trainer

Statistics show alcohol contributes to 80% of falls, yet the stigma associated with its use among older adults often hinders open discussions. Tipple and Topple is a programme addressing this issue.

What we cover:

This workshop provides staff with both the knowledge and resources to support the education of older adults in relation to alcohol use. The cornerstone of tipple and topple is a series of ten short videos specially designed for older adults that helps to explain why drinking can be increasingly hazardous to health as we age. Our workshop facilitators will assist you to consider how best to integrate Tipple and Topple into your service, where possible we suggest integrating the Tipple and Topple series into fall prevention programmes to help normalise alcohol conversations. Tipple and Topple is a motivational enhancement intervention, prompting older adults to reflect on their alcohol choices. The workshop aims to equip staff in falls prevention programs and care plan development with the skills to effectively incorporate and deliver the Tipple and Topple intervention.

How this is run:

Suitable for all care support staff, including registered, allied and health professionals working with older adults in a community, private or public setting. This workshop is approximately 2.5 hours in length and is delivered by our facilitators specialise in working with older adults.
