Mental Health and Emotional Wellness for Older Adults and Their Families
Emotional well-being is just as important as physical health, especially as we age. This workshop is designed for older adults and family members who want to better understand mental health, recognize early warning signs, and learn practical ways to support emotional wellness. We will discuss common concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, memory changes, and loneliness, and provide clear, easy-to-understand guidance on when and how to seek help. Participants will leave with tools to strengthen communication, reduce stigma, and build supportive environments that promote dignity, connection, and quality of life.
