Economic Security & Mental Health

Date: March 17, 2011

Time: 3:00 PM ET

Type: Webinar

Depression, anxiety, addiction, and other mental health issues don't disappear with age. In fact, almost 20% of older adults aged 55+ experience mental health problems that are not a normal part of aging.

Left untreated, these disorders can lead to fatigue and illness and severely impact one's economic security. The aging services network can connect older adults with the mental health resources they need.
