Welcome to the 5th Annual Older Adult Mental Health Awareness Day!

The National Coalition on Mental Health and Aging was proud to serve on the program planning committee for the 5^th annual Older Adult Mental Health Awareness Day Symposium that took place on May 16, 2022. The Symposium was hosted by the National Council on Aging (NCOA) and was co-sponsored with the U.S. Administration for Community Living, the Health Resources and Services Administration, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Sessions focused on how to best meet the mental health needs of older adults. Older adults and caregivers shared experiences about their personal mental health journeys, including Jane Pauley who was diagnosed with bipolar later in life.
