CornellCARES.com offers innovative yet sensible practice tools, information, and resources to make geriatric mental health and psychosocial assessments and interventions easier and more effective for all health care and social service practitioners. There are three different sections on the website: 1) a Medicare mental health directory that lists over 1000 NYC-based Medicare mental health specialists; 2) "Ask Dr. Abrams," an interactive section of the site provides practitioners with the opportunity to ask for and receive general geriatric mental health information from a nationally known geriatric psychiatrist, Dr. Robert Abrams; and 3) easily downloadable psychosocial patient educational handouts, which include valuable information and resources on many topics of concern to older adults. The link for CornellCARES.com, and the site's three section links, are as follows: CornellCARES.com http://www.cornellcares.org/ Section 1) NYC Medicare Mental Health Provider Directory http://www.cornellcares.org/provider/ Sction 2) Ask Dr. Abrams http://www.cornellcares.org/ask/overview.html?name1=Introduction&type1=2...
