Deprescribing Workshops in the Community
Resources
Recognizing the need for greater public awareness of the dangers of polypharmacy in the community, UHF delivered a two-part series of workshops in two settings for older adults in NYC. These sessions were hosted by our partners at the ArchCare Senior Life PACE Center in Harlem and JASA’s Coney Island Active Aging NORC.
Each session was 1 hour and covered the risks of polypharmacy, potential benefits of deprescribing, tracking and managing medications, finding helpful information, and how to talk to your provider about your medications. The content was adapted from the ‘Talking About Medications’ workshops developed by Deprescribing.org and partners.
You will find the content and resources used in our workshop series below, in English, Spanish, and Russian.
