New Resource from CCSMH to Help Address Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults

The Canadian Coalition for Seniors’ Mental Health (CCSMH) is pleased to share a new Conversation Starter Resource for Older Adults, designed to help older adults talk about social isolation and loneliness with a health care or social services professional. This practical, easy-to-use tool includes conversation prompts, self-reflection questions, and guidance to help older adults feel more confident discussing their experiences and seeking support.

We encourage you to disseminate this resource to the older adults you serve through your programs, services, and networks. To launch this new resource, printed copies are available free of charge (25 or 50 copies) can be requested  by filling out the online form.   Quantities are limited so be sure to place your order early! The physical copies will be mailed out the week of June 10.

Thank you for your continued commitment to supporting older adults and fostering meaningful social connections in your communities.
