Kicking off on 1 October with the United Nation’s International Day of Older Persons (UNIDOP2023) and concluding on 10 October in conjunction with the World Health Organization’s World Mental Health Day, this 3rd Annual ten-day initiative launched by the International Psychogeriatric Association (IPA) is focused on raising awareness of the importance for Better Mental Health for Older People.
Social workers have a central role in ensuring that rights and dignity are upheld for all in later life and that everyone can thrive as they age. As supporters of IPA, we invite all social workers to check out the website and social media each day from 1-10 October. There will be videos and resources to enable better support for mental health in later life across the globe.
Join us for the IFSW Europe Webinar on Social Work and Aging on 1 October!
