Prioritizing Mental Health in Elders

Greeting Stewards, 

We’re hearing a lot lately about mental health and younger people, in part because the pandemic caused a surge of depression and anxiety among America’s youth. But people of all ages deal with mental health issues and feelings of depression/anxiety, and older adults are not immune from these challenges. To learn more about older adults and mental health, take a listen to this 3 minute listen from NPR of how New York is prioritizing mental health for older adults.

Also, registration for our September forum is still open! Sign up while you still can and please share the information with anyone who might  be interested. This forum will be the third installment of our “train the trainer” initiative where we invite people from the community to facilitate the narrative wellness portion of the forum. September’s guest facilitator is Kristine Kopperud, Writer and End-of-Life Care Advocate.

Warmly, 

Asheanna
