Mental Health and Aging Presentation by SLS

Thursday, July 16, at 3:30 pm staff from both Veterans Memorial Hospital and Clinic and Regional Health Services of Howard County area hospitals will present “Mental Health and Aging.” The program will take place in Decorah Public Library’s lower level meeting room.  

Our physical health is often the first thing we think of as we age, but mental and emotional health play critical roles in our wellbeing. Join Mackenzie Adams, Kayla Baxter, and Katie Osmonson to learn from trained providers about what mental health means as we age. Attendees will learn to recognize common challenges in older adulthood, learn to recognize signs of some mental health issues, and learn about local and national resources that can help them.

Kayla Baxter, LICSW is the Program Therapist at Veterans Memorial Hospital Senior Life Solutions in Waukon.
