The Canadian Coalition for Seniors’ Mental Health (CCSMH) is a major initiative of the CAGP. The Coalition is committed to improving the quality of care and support for older adults throughout Canada by working tirelessly to bridge gaps in knowledge and practice, ensuring that mental health receives the attention it deserves within the realm of aging. The Coalition’s mission is rooted in evidence-based approaches, compassionate advocacy, and the unwavering belief that every older adult deserves the best possible mental health care. At a practical level, the CCSMH produces clinical guidelines and resources for health care and social service professionals as well as older adults and their care partners. We also strive to shed light on the unique challenges faced by older adults and advocate for improved mental health care policies and resources.
