Gain clarity about the mental health or memory changes in your older loved one with this free guide?

Noticing memory or mental health changes in your older loved one?

The next steps are as simple as 1-2-3…

  1. Share your concerns with your loved one directly and compassionately. 
  2. Help your loved one see their primary care provider. Sometimes mental health and memory changes are due to medical issues or medications that need to be assessed and managed by medical providers. 
  3. Help your loved one see a mental health professional. Don’t wait for medical issues to be resolved. People with medical conditions are more likely to experience mental health conditions and benefit from mental health care. Connect with a professional today.
