May is Older Americans Mental Health Month

As May comes to a close, it's important to acknowledge the importance of mental health among older adults, including promoting mental health equity, challenging the stigma around mental health, cultivating resilience, reducing barriers to accessing mental health services and strengthening the mental health workforce. There are three things you can to get involved with improving mental health among older adults:

Learn more about older adult mental health by reading the latest Generations Journal on Mental Health, Aging, and Resilience and watching ASA’s new Beyond Generations webcast on older adult mental health, with a focus on promoting mental health equity as we age through trauma and resilience lenses;
Advocate for older adult mental health on social media;
Educate others about aging and mental health by organizing workshops, webinars, or community outreach events to educate audiences about mental health issues specific to aging, coping strategies, and available resources.
