Mental Health Guides for Seniors and their Families
While depression is the most common mental health problem among seniors, it is not a normal part of aging. Untreated, it can become a risk factor for suicide.

These brochures are adapted from the CCSMH National Guidelines for Seniors' Mental Health with the financial support and collaboration of the Public Health Agency of Canada and Shoppers Drug Mart.

How do I get a copy?

Seniors and their families can now speak to Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacists about ways that depression can be treated. Together, they can talk about the steps that can be taken to feel well again.

Simply visit a local Shoppers Drug Mart to get the brochures on depression or suicide prevention. They are also available online.

These new resources let seniors know they are not alone and support is available.
