Depression in Late Adulthood

You will work in groups of three to research and deliver a 10-minute (maximum) presentation related to the impact of one experience on psychosocial development in a specific period of the lifespan and into the future.

During your tutorial, you and your partner will be assigned a topic from the Topic List included in this document. Your designated topic will impact the timing of your presentation delivery.

As part of your presentation, you MUST:

1.    Describe how the experience impacts psychosocial development during that particular period of the lifespan AND into the future.

2.    Describe how the relevant health professional (registered nurse or paramedic) can promote well-being of, and/or minimise harm to, individuals impacted by the experience. If you are a student nurse please focus on the registered nurse, and if you are a paramedicine student please focus on the paramedic in your answer.
