September 17, 2024
Martha Franks Retirement Community is hosting an important event titled “Understanding Mental Health in the Aging Population” on Thursday, September 26, 2024, at 8:30 a.m. The session will be held at 1 Martha Franks Drive, Laurens, SC 29360.
This event will explore the impact of mental health on older adults, challenging the misconception that depression is a normal part of aging. With approximately 20% of individuals over 55 experiencing a mental health condition, this discussion is both timely and essential.
Mary Paylor, MEd, Community Liaison for The Carolina Center for Behavioral Health, will lead the presentation. Paylor’s expertise will shed light on recognizing and addressing mental health issues among seniors, offering practical strategies for support.
Robert Sprouse, Executive Director of Martha Franks Retirement Community, emphasizes the importance of this event: “Our goal is to bring awareness to the mental health challenges faced by our aging population. Understanding these issues and providing effective support is crucial for enhancing the quality of life for our seniors.”
