The 7th Annual Older Adult Mental Health Awareness Day (OAMHAD) symposium will be held virtually on Thursday, May 2, 2024. The free event is hosted by the National Council on Aging (NCOA), with funding provided by ACL, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
The symposium is designed to raise awareness to better address the issues of older adult mental health and substance use disorders and highlight resources, case studies, and initiatives available to practitioners working with adults age 50+ living in the community. Last year, over 9,500 people registered for the event. The 2023 event received recognition from the White House and featured a welcome message from the U.S. Surgeon General.
Presenting at the symposium gives you the opportunity to:
- Highlight and receive national visibility for your research or program related to mental health and aging.
- Be a part of a community that raises awareness to better address the issues of older adult mental health and substance use disorders.
- Collaborate with public health practitioners, professionals in the aging network, and mental health and substance use disorder providers/professionals.
- Present in a session that offers continuing education credit to a wide range of professionals.
- Build strategic partnerships and network with thousands of professionals in aging and behavioral health.
