Mental health and well-being in later life - Moving forward?
| Date(s) | 8 July 2008 |
| Organisation | Age Concern |
| Location | London
England |
| Details | Good mental health amongst older
people is essential if we are to reap the rewards of their contributions in an ageing
society. Yet action to promote good mental health has often excluded older people.
Mental health problems are not an inevitable part of ageing and many problems can be
prevented or alleviated. Yet a cloud of defeatism often hangs over discussions about
older people's mental health. Policy commitments have been made to age equality in
mental health services. Yet age discrimination prevents many older people from receiving
the services they need, and age equality is a poorly understood concept. Building on the
reports from the independent UK Inquiry into mental health and well-being in later life
(www.mhilli.org.uk), this conference will explore the latest developments in policy and
practice; showcase innovative service developments; explore the theme of age equality;
and enable delegates to give feedback on the draft dementia strategy. |

President, Age Concern and Chairman, UK Inquiry into Mental Health and Well-Being in
