About the Course

In 2003 and 2004, SAMHSA convened two roundtables of mental health services consumers, researchers, older adults, media representatives, grant writers, advocates, and practitioners. In the roundtables, the participants discussed research findings on older adults and mental health, manifestations of stigma and discrimination, barriers to eliminating stigma, and strategies to overcome the barriers. The results of their discussions are the basis for this course.

This course is based on the reading online article, Mentally Healthy Aging: A Report on Overcoming Stigma for Older Americans created by DHHS Staff
