Mental wellness and suicide among older adults
are important public health issues in the Greater Boston
area especially during times of social isolation or disruption. Suicide
attempts by older adults are much more likely to result in death than among
younger persons and impact not only individuals and families but entire
communities.
Join us for a discussion on these topics between our Coalition members and
partners who have found creative ways to address the four pillars of
resiliency: mental, physical, social and spiritual that we know lead to greater
mental health and prevent suicide during turbulent times. You will have much to
learn from their efforts and will enjoy the opportunity to ask questions during
our time together. Please also bring your own story and processes found helpful
to this important and timely conversation.
