Description
CCGG provides services such as program and product dissemination, curriculum and program development, and guest lectures, among others. To know more about these services, contact Rachel Price at rprice@mednet.ucla.edu or 310-312-0531. CCGG also raises funds for student scholarships, faculty development training, and specialized projects designed to meet the needs of older adults and their families. Contracting for services provided by CCGG or making a tax deductible donation helps our effort to provide an expert voice for California in gerontology and geriatrics.
CCGG was founded in early 1980 when Jim Birren, the first Executive Director and Dean of the university of Southern California’s gerontology program, and his co-visionary, Bonnie Russell of CSU San Jose, who headed up the State Unit on Aging, were successful in securing a two-year planning grant from the Luke B. Handcock Foundation.
A forward looking organization, however, is not content to rest on its laurels. What might CCGG do in the future? Some possible activities flow from the need to grow and be more inclusive. Certainly, one central issue is how to get more members and to involve more students in the organization. The ranks of the early leadership are being reduced by health issues, retirement, and new careers. Without “new blood,” CCGG is less well-positioned to meet the challenges of aging in California. Another issue centers on the relative lack of participation by geriatric educators.
Team San Diego Initiative, working with San Diego County Aging & Independent Services to provide academic expertise, administrative support, facilities and technological services to train health and social services professionals in geriatric teams.
This curriculum consists of six one-hour in-service training sessions for facility-based Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) in California. The goal is to help CNAs provide better care for residents in long-term care facilities, by achieving the following objectives: To develop core competencies of communications and problem-solving skills for CNAs, and provide them with concrete tools to respond to resident's needs and preferences.
