Making the Connection Work: Identification and Support for Older Adults with Mental Health and/or Substance Use Problems
The aim of this one-day community-based training event is to improve the knowledge, comfort and skill of service providers who work with older adults who may have problems with mental health and/or substance use. A secondary objective is to improve overall community capacity to respond by “making the connection” at a local level between addiction service providers, mental health professionals and other older adult care providers. Developed by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) Healthy Aging Project in partnership with the PIECES Consult Group and other community partners. If you are interested in hosting this training in your community, please contact Jennifer Barr.
