About the Understanding Mental Health and Well-Being in Later Life initiative
The Understanding Mental Health and Well-Being in Later Life initiative aims to:
- raise awareness among older adults about mental health, addiction and substance use issues and where to access help
- respond to the unique needs and strengths of older adults from immigrant, refugee, ethnocultural and racialized groups and among Indigenous older adults
- address the needs of older adults living in long-term care and retirement homes.
To meet these goals, we have developed a set of evidence-based workshops, courses, and resources for service providers, caregivers, and adults 65 years of age and older. We work closely with community partners to develop our resources.
