How to Support Mental Wellness in Older Adults 

Hailey Goad on March 31, 2025

Mental health is just as important as physical health, especially as we age. Here are some ways to support older adults’ well-being: 

  1. Encourage regular social interactions through calls, visits, or community groups. CONTACT Care Line’s Reassurance Program provides scheduled check-in calls to offer connection and support, helping to reduce isolation and ensure well-being.
  1. Promote physical activity, as movement is linked to improved mood 
  1. Support access to counseling or therapy if needed 
  1. Offer to help with daily tasks to reduce stress and frustration 
  1. Remind them that help is always available through resources like 988 

Small efforts can have a big impact. Mental wellness should be a priority for all generations.
