- Physicians and geriatricians who care for older adults in the LTC system
- Nurses and geriatric nurse specialists
- Social workers
- Activity coordinators
- Physical, occupational, and speech therapists within an LTC setting who are seeking ways to explain behavior and empower the residents they care for
- Psychologists and psychiatrists whose practice focuses on older adults
