May is Mental Health Awareness Month! Each week we will post content on taking care of yourself and others.
Week 1 focuses on supporting Older Adults' Mental Health/La salud mental de los adultos mayores. As we age, we may experience life changes that impact our mental health.
Remember:
-It’s never too late to get help.
-It is important to remember that older adults may have different mental health symptoms. For example, a lack of interest in some activities.
-Talking about mental health can help older adults feel more comfortable asking for support.
-Mental health treatment can be part of a wellness program to help older adults live happy and fulfilling lives.
-Mental health professionals can help older adults cope with life changes.
-Friends and family can experience meaningful mutual connection by spending time visiting with older adults.
-Mental health is important at every age. Spending time with friends and family can boost older adults’ mental and physical health.
Remember that mental health support is available to you if you need it. Visit samhsa.gov/resources-serving-older-adults to learn more. #MHAM2024
