Senior Mental Health Workshop

This Tuesday was another Senior Health and Wellness Workshop held by the DCAG and the main focus this was mental health and well-being.

Samuel Richards, a certified psychiatric and mental health nurse, started off by allowing Seniors to express themselves on the topic of mental illness. Seniors were given a survey which asked questions about how well they knew about the topic of mental illness.

During this program, the group discussed the different aspects of mental health such as psychosis, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and more. Samuel tackled some of the positive steps toward dealing with these issues and went over a couple of case studies relating to senior mental health. 

Overall, the seniors had a great time both learning and engaging in this month’s Senior Health and Wellness Program!
