Mental Health

The prevalence of depressive disorders in older adults is expected to more than double by 2050, and of major concern, substance use disorders are also on the rise among older adults. The Alliance is tackling this issue head on. In 2017, it convened a roundtable of experts and advocates to discuss older adults and mental health.  The Alliance is now taking the next steps in bringing this topic to the national conversation on mental health.
