Radio COTA #44: Ageing and Maintaining Mental Health

Published: March 13, 2017, 2:01 a.m.

This week on Radio COTA, we had the opportunity to speak with Minister for Aged Care and Indigenous Health, the Hon Ken Wyatt AM, MP, to ask him to respond to questions regarding the potential discrimination of older people living in aged care facilities, who do not have the same access to mental health supports and services as people ageing in their own homes. We also provide essential information on treatments and support networks to assist in regaining and managing health and wellbeing, the importance of maintaining strong friendships, and how to start the conversation with people you love when you have concerns for their mental health and wellbeing. Don't forget to listen out for the 'Switched on Seniors' information sessions, and 'What's On' throughout Queensland So, grab a cuppa, sit back, relax and enjoy the latest from Radio COTA!
