How Can We Support Our Clients and Loved Ones As They Age?

Mental health will affect all aspects of the lifespan. However, the mental health of older adults is often overlooked, and can even go undiagnosed, leading to more mental health crises. Join this year's conversation as we learn about addressing common aging stereotypes, handling changes/transitions as we age, navigating grief and loss, and other relevant topics.

NAMI Wood County's annual Mental Health Conference Series will explore the "Caring for a Generation: Supporting Mental Health in Aging" with presenters from local mental health providers, university faculty, and more! This event is open to both mental health professionals and community members who wish to learn more about this topic. Continuing education credits will be available for licensed counselors, social workers, and marriage & family therapists in the state of Ohio.

Attendees have the option to join us in-person in Perrysburg at BGSU Levis Commons or virtually on Zoom. Cost for attendance is $35 for in-person and $20 for virtual. In-person attendees will also receive a light breakfast and lunch provided by our generous sponsors.

There will also be resource tables available to visit during breaks, and NAMI Wood County will be selling t-shirts throughout the day (prices vary).

*CEUs are currently pending through the Ohio Social Worker, Counselor, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board. Please contact our office for any questions.
