The course "Foundational Competencies in Older Adult Mental Health" is highly recommended as an overview of geriatric issues in Mental Health. It is both on-line and in-person. The online program has a fee for CE credits or you may attend on-line without CE credits for free. Non-CE participation still obtains the certificate.
Note that in some states like Colorado, license renewal does not require CEs. The course is 14 hours of material. Check to be sure how many hours you can accumulate in various modalities of learning. Colorado has a max of 20 hours in one learning mode. This course would leave only six hours for additional lecture type learning.
