1.) Give 2 examples of something you learned from the Mental Health online modules and explain why you chose the two examples. 
2.) So, how did you do on the online module self-assessment? 

I learned in the UK there are about 7000,000 people that has dementia.
I also learned there are not enough specialist services for older adults with mental health problems in the areas of universally available, accessible, and integrated.
I was very surprised to learn so many people in the UK has dementia but it does not stop there in the UK, it is everywhere, all over the world.  This has being a big medical issue for such a long time,  I can't believe medical doctors has not came-up with medication to stop dementia or to slow it down.  If they can send a man to the moon they can come-up with medicine to help our older adults. 
What bothers me is the fact, it states in one of the quiz question the answer was false about specialist services are available and accessible.  It will only happen when you make it happen instead of allowing it to continue to stay in the planning stage and not go forward to make it a reality, do something about it.  

When I first took the quiz, I did not do well so I re-took the quiz after I re-read everything again.  I did a great job the second time.

                                                                                     QUESTION

Where do we as Social Workers start to help and assist in the healing process for our older adults that have dementia as well as depression without stepping into Doctors shoes?
