Mental Health Conversations with older adults in community care: a national research study
October 10 at 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Our Canadian healthcare system continues to focus on physical needs versus mental health. Community health and social care providers are well-positioned to talk about mental health with their clients but lack support and training to do so. This presentation discusses how the Mental Health Conversations study is engaging Canadian care providers and older adults in workshops and surveys to co-design tools and approaches to facilitate mental health conversations in community care settings.
