Event Details:

Older adults are often reluctant to ask for help with mental healthcare. This session reviewed key mental health challenges older adults face, how to recognize and understand symptoms, and how physical, cognitive, and mental health intersect. We looked at the barriers that affect engagement and factors that foster resilience. Finally, we covered person-centered, trauma-informed, and age-affirming best practices. 

Participants learned how to: 

• Understand the most common mental health challenges in older adults

• Describe mental health risk and protective factors, and strategies for fostering resilience

• Integrate person-centered, trauma-informed best practices for support
