MENTAL HEALTH
Promoting mental health is heavily reliant on strategies that ensure that older people have the resources they need to meet their needs, such as providing security and freedom, adequate housing through supportive housing policies, social support for older people and their caregivers, health and social programs targeted at vulnerable groups, such as those who live alone or in rural areas, or who suffer from a chronic or relapsing mental or physical illness, and programs aimed at preventing suicide.
