Aging and Long Term Care" Requirement
With the influx of those living in long term care settings and the
anticipated baby boom crisis, this course and subject not only relate
to LCSW and MFT practice directly, it satisfies the much needed
"Aging and Long Term Care" requirement.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
David Hahklotubbe, M.A. (pronounced Hawk-low-tubby) is a licensed
long term care provider, certified administrator for residential
care facilities for the elderly, owner of Choctaw House Senior Living,
a community for those afflicted with cognitive impairment (dementia)

COURSE MATERIALS
A trend in the field of continuing education is that the curriculum
are not free, nor are they helpful. Because our goal at HAHK is
to increase the quality of life of our collective clients, we provide
a substantial curriculum, free of charge for all students. Our thoughts
on this are simple, the idea of coming to these courses is to share
knowledge and provide education to those in the caring field. The
student then returns to their workplace, shares this knowledge with
staff, cohorts and clients, thus achieving our goal. We feel that
without a comprehensive teaching tool from which to share this knowledge,
we would not be facilitating the process. We hope you appreciate
and utilize this tool.
SCHEDULES, POLICIES & PROTOCOLS
Each course will commence promptly at 9:00 am. There will be a
scheduled lunch break of 1/2 hour. Certificates
of completion will be distributed at the end of each course. Lunch may or may not
