Webinar: Nurturing Mental Wellness in Older Adults: Accessing Resources and Supports

Join us for a webinar about supporting the mental health and well-being of older adults. With 17% to 30% of older adults in Ontario facing mental health challenges, there is a pressing need for awareness of the issue and of available resources and supports.

The Provincial System Support Program (PSSP) at CAMH presents the Understanding Mental Health and Well-Being in Later Life initiative, which offers evidence-based solutions to meet this need. Discover our accessible resources, which focus on empowering older adults and their families to access support networks in their community. These resources include community-based workshops for older adults hosted across the province, online courses for service providers, multilingual information sheets, webinars with subject matter experts, and more!

Don't miss this opportunity to learn, connect, and advocate for healthy aging.
