Mental Health
Counselling, therapy, and mental health support for seniors
Mental health matters at every age. Alberta seniors face grief, isolation, anxiety, depression, and the stress of cognitive change — and family caregivers carry a load of their own. These services offer counselling, support groups, and specialized geriatric care. Some are free community programs; others are private and may be covered by benefits.
