Getting an older adult who is a family member or close friend to seek and use mental health help can be a challenging task, especially when dealing with depression. Dr. Lisa Brown will discuss factors leading to depression in older adults and why late-life depression can be challenging  to recognize. She will review treatment options, barriers to getting help, and how to navigate the mental health system to get the right support.

The program will conclude with a question-and-answer session and provide a tip-sheet of practical advice.
