Webinar: Older Adults and Substance Use in the Time of COVID-19

This free webinar is hosted by the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba. 

The pandemic is a difficult time for people of all ages and health conditions. For older adults, the pandemic poses additional challenges as disrupted support systems and potential increased risks of serious complications from COVID-19 can lead to higher levels of stress or anxiety, and increase their vulnerability to various health problems, including addictions.

This webinar will talk about some of the recent developments related to older adults living in self-isolation with the possibility of existing or emerging addictions, as well as addressing issues such as problematic use, healthy coping skills and the community resources that older adults can access in the time of COVID-19.

Presented by Esther Tran.
