Workshop series description
The Understanding Mental Health and Well-Being in Later Life workshop series is mental health, mental illness and addictions programming for older adults (65+). The workshop series shows older adults how to improve their mental health, spot the signs and symptoms of mental illness and addictions, and learn where to go for help in their communities.
The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), with the help of experts in the field of mental health and addiction, developed the standardized, evidence-based mental health, mental illness and addictions-focused programming. It is ready for organizations to use in order to support the older adult population they serve. The curriculum is free, easy to use and requires minimal preparation for delivery.
The project team is interested in partnering with organizations that have a mandate to support mental health programming for older adults and/or facilitators to deliver the workshops.
Available workshop topics include:
- Series overview
- Depression
- Bipolar disorder
- Anxiety disorders
- Psychosis
- Delirium
