Mental health is a key aspect of aging well. During this session you will learn to identify signs and symptoms of common mental health concerns older adults may experience. We will define your role in supporting members living with mental health concerns and compare common mental health training resources that can build your confidence and knowledge of mental health concerns.

Senior centers play a crucial role in supporting healthy aging in their communities and mental health is a vital component. This summit is designed for senior center professionals looking to deepen their understanding, expand their skills, and implement effective mental wellness strategies in their communities. In these three sessions, you will hear from professionals working in different roles across the aging network to improve the mental well-being of older adults. This is an opportunity for you to gain practical insights, explore valuable training programs, and connect with peers dedicated to strengthening mental health support for older adults. Join us and be part of the conversation.
