Join us on the "Here's to Your Health" podcast as host Jill Melby sits down with Kellie Gee, RN and Program Director of Senior Life Solutions, to discuss this vital new mental health service for older adults in our rural community.

The Senior Life Solution program, which started on October 6th at CCMH, addresses the significant need for older adult mental health care, where there is often a lack of mental health professionals. Learn about the negative impacts of a strong stigma against mental health support and the belief that depression and anxiety are normal parts of aging—and why they are not.

Kellie details the program's structure, including:

• Group Therapy: Small, intimate groups of 7–10 people provide a confidential setting where you can connect with peers who understand what you’re going through.
• Individual and Family Therapy: One-on-one sessions and family sessions are available to provide targeted support.
• Medication Management: A dedicated psychiatrist will manage and oversee any necessary medications.
• Education and Aftercare Planning: The program teaches therapeutic interventions and helps patients plan for their continued well-being after graduating from the program.

If you know a senior who may benefit from this service, tune in to find out how they can be referred to the program.
