Organizations Supporting the Mental Health and Well-Being of Older Adults
Your Wellness is Important
Mental health can be improved through promoting active and healthy aging. Mental health promotion for older adults involves creating living conditions and environments that support wellbeing and that support all people to lead a healthy life.
Being physically active, socially connected and challenging your brain can improve your long-term health and can help you to bounce back from illness. “These risk factors along with a positive attitude toward aging and addressing mental health are key modifiable factors to reduce overall dementia burden by up to 35%.” (Lancet, July 2017).
