Supporting the Mental Health of Older Adults

by Connecting People, Ideas & Resources

Older adults have contributed to the success we witness today. The least we can do is support their well-being.

You can make the difference.

You can make the difference in the lives of seniors across Canada. As a non-profit agency and registered charity, our strategies depend on your support.

Do you support someone experiencing changes in mood or behaviour related to dementia?

The Behaviours in Dementia Toolkit is a brand-new online library of over 200 free, practical resources that can help you better understand and compassionately respond to dementia-related changes in mood or behaviour.

Mental illness is not a normal part of aging.

All seniors have the right and deserve to receive services and care that promotes their mental health and responds to their mental illness needs. The Canadian Coalition for Seniors' Mental Health (CCSMH) is hard at work ensuring that seniors' mental health is recognized as a key Canadian health and wellness issue.
