As the Canadian population ages, investing in mental health supports is vital to fostering resilience and well-being among older adults. This life stage, while often transformational, can also bring significant stressors that diminish hope, meaning, and connection. Integrative care networks which combine psychological, recreational, and spiritual support, play a crucial role in improving access to these essential elements of well-being. By addressing barriers and coordinating care, interdisciplinary teams help older adults overcome social isolation, rediscover purpose, and strengthen community ties. The speakers will talk about their experiences of working with older adult clients and how improving access to hope, meaning, and connection enhances mental health outcomes and quality of life for Canada's aging population. Attendees will learn how accepting grief and loss as parts of life allows us to live more fully.
