Event Description:
One in four older Americans experience a behavioral health issue that is not a normal part of aging, yet they are less likely to receive treatment than younger individuals. This webinar from NCOA will provide an update on behavioral health topics relevant to older adults from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), including the latest national data on depression, suicide, and substance abuse or misuse. The presentation will also discuss a description of the Mental Health Association of New York City’s (MHA-NYC) initiatives to improve access to behavioral health services for older adults.
This webinar will take place on Thursday, May 18, at 2:00 p.m. ET.
