New film highlights older adult outreach teams in MA

Most older adults experience positive mental health, and recent research suggests that past experiences of adversity may contribute to greater wisdom and resilience as we age.

Understanding and meeting our changing behavioral health needs as we age is vital to lifelong positive mental health. Older adults with mental health conditions are more likely to experience poorer health outcomes, disability, and frequent hospitalizations, with higher rates of nursing home admission occurring at younger ages.

The mission of the Older Adult Behavioral Health Network is to highlight and elevate the importance of behavioral health in Massachusetts to improve the lives of older adults and support community living.
