This free event is not a presentation, but rather an opportunity for you to have an interactive questions & answer session. Aging with dignity and purpose is a universal aspiration, but for older adults with serious mental illnesses (SMI), systemic barriers often stand in the way of thriving. This engaging session explores the unique intersection of aging, mental health, and recovery, shining a spotlight on the top five ways we can advance health access and inclusivity to support individuals in becoming vibrant elders. From addressing social isolation to advocating for fair access to holistic healthcare, this session will inspire fresh perspectives and actionable solutions. You'll learn how recovery can evolve into purposeful aging, fostering a sense of community, lifelong learning, and empowerment. We’ll also discuss the critical role of policy advocacy in creating systems that meet the diverse needs of older adults with SMI. Whether you’re a healthcare provider, policymaker, or advocate, you’ll leave with practical insights and creative ideas to bring back to your community. Join us for a high-energy conversation that mixes humor, heart, and hope, as we reimagine what it means to age vibrantly in recovery. Together, we’ll explore how to turn challenges into opportunities and create a future where everyone can thrive.
