Today, IFA is also celebrating World Mental Health Day! As we age, mental health and brain health are more connected than ever. Issues like depression, anxiety, and stress not only impact emotional well-being but can also speed up cognitive decline. But did you know that caring for the mental health of caregivers is just as crucial? On #WorldMentalHealthDay, we’re raising awareness about the brain health needs of both older adults and their caregivers. Let’s support older adults AND their caregivers by breaking the stigma around mental health, fostering understanding, and promoting well-being. Check out IFA’s newest report for more details on the experiences and perspectives of Canadian caregivers and their loved ones with dementia: https://shorturl.at/HjQ0U
